THE ARCTIC IS COMPLETELY UNIQUE
High summer is prime time for seeing wildlife. Seabirds nest in their millions on sea cliffs in the Svalbard archipelago, while geese, swans and Arctic terns raise their young on the open tundra. Camouflaged in their brown summer coats, egg-raiding Arctic foxes are on the prowl, while polar bears can be seen foraging, and stalking seals. Walruses are frequently encountered and there’s also a good chance of spotting humpback, minke, fin and blue whales, plus narwhal, orca and beluga.
During shore excursions, via kayak or zodiac from the ship, you’ll be able to tiptoe through the tundra, observing the profusion of delicate Arctic flowers that need to bloom and set seed during the brief Arctic summer.
