Samarinvågen is a bay in Sørkapp Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard.
It is a southern bay of the fjord Hornsund, located between Meranfjellet and Traunkammen.
The bay is named after Samarin, member of Arctic expeditions between 1899 and 1902.
[1][2][3] Samarinvågen's secluded location, coupled with the geological features such as the pieces of ice that come from a calving glacier nearby, give it a unique ambiance.
The floating pieces of ice are the favorite haunt of bearded seals.
