Billefjorden | Skansbukta

Skansbukta, which is in the outer part of Billefjorden, is located in a bay which is protected from winds from most directions. Under the impressive cliffs of Skansen there is a narrow beach terrace with a cabin. North of the cabin there are remains from the gypsum mine that once was active here. On the green slope behind the cabin you will find treasures not found in many other places in Svalbard – thermophilic flora characteristic for the inner parts of Isfjorden.
