SVALBARD-Norway
THE SVALBARD ARCHIPELAGO IS A UNIQUE DESTINATION IN AND OF ITSELF; THIS TRIP TO THE FINAL INHABITED PLACE BEFORE THE NORTH POLE IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE AND PHOTOGRAPH NATURE AT ITS WILDEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL!
Our camp and the base of our adventures will be a deserted Arctic beach, with minimal comforts but plentiful opportunity for the ultimate contact with Svalbard’s fauna... The adventure begins in the capital, Longyearbyen, where we will prepare for our four-day trip to the Isfjord coastline. This is not a field-trip, this is a hardcore adventure for the daring! Our transport is provided by Stefano’s rib boat, and our home for the next four days is a group of tents in Skansbukta bay. We will spend the next four days exploring the enormous isfjord, getting close up and personal with Svalbard’s unique animal life, which includes Svalbard reindeer, Arctic foxes, whales, seals, walrus, countless bird species and, of course, the polar bear!
