Visits
- 2024-02-19: For our next adventure, we made an early morning drive to the coast to visit Rausu for a boat trip to see all of the sea eagles that gather on the sea ice. It was looking like it was going to be some harsh sunlight for the boat trip, but in the end some light clouds solved that problem.
