LONGYEARBYEN
5 Days/4 Nights - REF:SPITS123
Perched on the fringes of a beautifully wild Arctic landscape Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen's capital,huddles below a backdrop of glacial mountains and has a population of less than two thousand people.
Life in the tight-knit community of this remote outpost is based around tourism, mining and research.
The Svalbard Archipelago rests in total darkness from mid-November until mid-January, after which an incredible Arctic twilight exists as the days steadily get lighter - a great time to travel and explore this magical land. To witness the sun finally return in March is a unique experience, as the people of Spitsbergen celebrate what is literally their first dawn of the New Year.
Just over 1000km from the North Pole, this group of islands is largely covered by glaciers. Spitsbergen, the only inhabited island of the archipelago, is an incredible base for winter activities and offers an exciting variety of options in the lands where the magnificent polar bear reigns supreme. Sightings, though never guaranteed, are most likely on the Snowmobile Safari or Dog Sledge Safari.
The following land-based tours allow the opportunity to experience fascinating Spitsbergen, whether as a short break.in the main settlement of Longyearbyen with amazing daily activities and excursions, a more adventurous Winter Snowmobile Safari venturing to the abandoned radio station at Kapp Linne, or an authentic Dog Sledge Safari taking us to the stunning frozen lands of the east coast. |
