Additional Information
Spitsbergen is the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago, and this
voyage will attempt a circumnavigation of the island. Lying entirely within
the Arctic Circle, Spitsbergen is rugged, wild, unspoiled—utterly
unforgettable. When it comes to viewing Arctic wildlife, Spitsbergen is known
as one of the most prolific destinations.
The island and surrounding area offers one of the best opportunities to view
Polar bears, and with luck we'll be able to see the world’s largest
carnivores in their natural habitat. Walrus populations love Spitsbergen as
well, feeding in the food-rich icy waters around the island. Whales and
seabirds will also entertain during the sailing portions of the expedition,
and we may catch a sighting of reindeer or Arctic fox when taking Zodiac
excursions to shore.
