Sail to the southern region of Svalbard’s vast wilderness. Remote. Rugged. A whole new kingdom of High Arctic wonder awaits from the village of Longyearbyen. Watch wildlife that doesn’t disappoint; bobbing whales, seals and walruses break the surface of calm, icy waters. Zodiac, kayak and learn how locals live under a polar Midnight Sun. Layer up for fossil hunts, the pitter-patter of dog teams, ATV drives into deep valleys, and stand transfixed at glacier’s edge and witness astounding beauty. Fragile yet fearless and far from civilisation, this doesn’t just feel like the end of the earth – the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is prepped for it.
