ITINERARY
Longyearbyen
Day 1
The world's most northerly town, Longyearbyen, on Spitsbergen,
Svalbard's largest island, also claims the most northerly high street
and pub. It's home to The North Pole Expeditions Museum chronicling
early pole-reaching efforts by air. Nearby, Svalbard Global Seed Vault
preserves duplicate seeds from gene banks worldwide. Arctic waters
around are populated by whales, including bowheads and narwhals, while
walruses are regularly seen hauling out.
Svalbard
Day 2-7
Svalbard is the kingdom of the polar bears, deep in the Arctic Circle,
featuring varied polar landscapes and gargantuan glaciers. Beyond
magnificent fjords in the north, the remaining sea ice serves as prime
hunting grounds for polar bears. Closer to Longyearbyen, tundra and
beaches replace snow and ice. Alongside 600 polar bears, this Arctic
hotspot is home to walrus, Svalbard reindeer, ringed seals and arctic
fox
