description
Approche : Assurez-vous d’avoir pris connaissance des conditions de glace, des courants et du mascaret propres à Bjørnøya.
Le mouillage est bien protégé des vents du sud et de l’ouest. Mouillez du côté sud de la petite baie, par 5 à 6 mètres de fond, sur un fond de roches et de galets. Kvalrossbukta est considéré comme le mouillage le moins rouleur de Bjørnøya.
Même par temps calme, le débarquement nécessite une grande prudence. La plage de galets présente une pente abrupte, et des déferlantes peuvent se former à marée haute, même si la mer semble calme à marée basse. À terre, subsistent quelques vestiges d’une station baleinière datant du début du XXe siècle. On y trouve également le départ de quelques randonnées.
