Svalbard

A Norwegian Arctic archipelago of glaciers, polar bears, northern lights and midnight sun, and one of the easiest places from which to reach the Arctic.

Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean north of mainland Norway. Its main island is Spitsbergen, and its administrative center, Longyearbyen, is one of the world's northernmost towns. Glaciers, fjords and tundra abound, and activities include glacier hiking, dog sledding, snowmobiling, and boat trips to see glaciers and walruses; be mindful of polar bear safety in the wilderness. From February to May you can enjoy snow activities and the tail end of aurora season; summer brings the midnight sun and boat sightseeing, while winter is the polar night. The gateway is Longyearbyen Airport, with flights to Oslo and Tromsø.
