HornsundBy Øystein Overrein (ed.), Jørn Henriksen, Bjørn Fossli Johansen, Kristin PrestvoldMajestic peaks and dramatic fjords make a visit to Hornsund special. The highest summits are often shrouded in mist, but if you are lucky you might get a glimpse of Hornsundtind, peaking at 1431 m.a.s.l. Hornsund is the southernmost fjord in Svalbard located in Sør-Spitsbergen National Park. Traces of human activity spanning 400 years can be found almost anywhere where there are possible landing sites. Updated May 2015 |
