Svalbard


Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Situated north of mainland Europe, it is about midway between continental Norway and the North Pole....

The largest island is Spitsbergen, followed by Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya. Svalbard may seem desolate and barren with large, open landscapes, sparse vegetation and endless glaciers, but if you look beyond this first impression, you will discover a jackpot of nature-based experiences all year round. The seasonal variations this far north are enormous – the long, dark season is replaced by bright winter months, which in turn are replaced by a surprisingly mild summer with sun 24/7.
