Photo by @KristaRossow // Have you ever heard of the island of Jan Mayen? I hadn’t until the day before setting foot on the island while traveling #onassignment on the National Geographic Explorer ship. Located at 70°59′N 8°32′W in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, the island wasn’t on our original itinerary, but our plan was changed to allow everyone the unique opportunity to explore this Norwegian island on a rare sunny afternoon. We hiked across the small island on a moonlike landscape and admired the “shy” glacier-covered Beerenberg Volcano as it would occasionally emerge from its cloud cover. #NGExpeditions
