Exploring for Polar Bears, Seabirds, and Walruses

Prepare for an expedition of boundless possibilities as you venture into the next stage of your journey, marked by its true spirit of adventure. Depending on the sea ice conditions, we may boldly cross the 80th parallel north and immerse ourselves in the unspoiled wilderness of northeast Svalbard.

Perhaps our path will lead us to the immense Bråsvellbreen glacier, where cascading waterfalls plunge into icy abysses, or to Kvitøy, where we'll seek out polar bears roaming the frozen expanse. Heading southward, we may explore Freemansundet and Kapp Lee, or embark on thrilling small boat expeditions to Edgeøya or Barentsøya.

In the genuine spirit of expedition, our precise route will be shaped by the conditions we encounter each day. Embrace your inner explorer as you partake in exhilarating landings, hikes, and kayak journeys, always on the lookout for remarkable Arctic wildlife such as polar bears, walruses, guillemots, and gulls.

Even if the ice obstructs our eastern passage, rest assured that your adventure will remain unbridled as we delve deeper into the enchanting wonders of western Svalbard.

Step onto the deck to observe seals and whales frolicking in the surrounding waters, gaze upon the majestic Mount Hornsundtind, and marvel at glaciers calving into the sea.

Next, we venture to the snow-covered Bellsund, where the imposing cliffs serve as the abode for substantial colonies of auks, guillemots, and northern fulmars. Below these rugged cliffs, the Arctic foxes and Svalbard reindeer find their sanctuary. Keep a keen eye out for remnants of early mining settlements, and delve into the inspiring tale of Wanny Woldstad, a pioneering female trapper who left her mark on this remote land.

Along its shores and in its bays, you'll encounter visible remnants of the area's whaling and hunting legacy. Further south, we'll pass by the former Isfjord Radio satellite communication station, now transformed into one of the world's most exquisitely located hotels.
