Résumé :	While sailing from Murmansk (N Russia) to Spitzbergen Svalbard, a White-backed Woodpecker landed on the boat on 1st August 2013 about 45 km off the closest coast at 70 degrees 19' N, 033 degrees 00' E. After a short stopover the bird (presumably an adult female) flew off when disturbed by the crew. Though this does not represent the northernmost observation of any woodpecker; it is most likely the northernmost global record of a White-backed Woodpecker, a species usually not moving over long distances.
