Today’s goal: scouting for walruses in Borebukta
Once we are in Borebukta, we look for wildlife around the boat and enjoy hot toddy, coffee and biscuits.
Half a century ago, the walrus was protected after 350 years of hunting. The population was down to as little as a couple of hundred. In recent years, the walrus has again started to use old gathering places, which we are so lucky to have around Isfjorden. A walrus can weigh as much as 1.5 tons and although they may seem awkward on land, they move gracefully and quickly when in water. The walrus is a social animal that often appears in flocks when they are looking for mussels on the seabed or when they lie dry on land to rest.


Wildlife is never guaranteed, but nevertheless, walruses are often seen in the same places in summer, and in Borebukta they are often observed in water and on land. We don’t go on land on our walrus safari but from the boat we have good opportunities to observe the curious sea mammals.
