Svalbard (Spitsbergen)
Rich in history and culture, with diverse wildlife, the Svalbard (or Spitsbergen) archipelago, north of Norway, offers fabulous exploration. From the capital Longyearbyen, with its end-of-civilisation feel, expedition cruises circumnavigate the archipelago, exploring the glacier-studded coast and visiting historic whaling outposts. This stunning environment of towering ice cliffs and frozen mountains is home to wonderful wildlife, including beluga whales, bearded and ringed seals, vast seabird colonies, walruses, and the majestic, elusive polar bear, spotted roaming the ice floes or swimming between the frozen shores in search of prey.
