Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean and is under the governance of Norway. This island group is considered the northernmost part of Norway, about midway between the Norway mainland and the North Pole. Due to the extreme northern location of these islands, they do not experience total darkness between late May and mid-August, enjoying long, extended daytime.

The most accessible part of the Arctic Circle, Svalbard is one of the most remarkable places imaginable with vast icebergs dominating the sea views. However barren and lifeless the ground may seem, grasses, lichen and delicate flowers manage to flourish, providing a serene counterpoint to the harsh landscape.

Despite being a 1000 km flight from the nearest major airport, Svalbard is an assault on the senses that will never be forgotten. Although the winters are long, harsh, and very dark, a visit at this time should not be discounted. There are plenty of activities to leave you rosy cheeked and exhilarated.
