Itinerary description

Hike from the end of Longyearbyen city to the entrance of the Ice Cave. Going inside the cave until the possible way trough (January polar winter 2024) and all the way around.

Polar winter clothing + headlamp + micro spikes + poles

[One person was not feeling well enough to continue all the path so at certain point, we had to come back to the initial point, then do the whole hike from the beggining-This is why is recorded a loop the first hour)
