Svalbard: Ultimate Arctic Expedition Video
Published September 19, 2023
Experience the untamed beauty of Svalbard like never before with our Svalbard: Ultimate Arctic Expedition.
Please enjoy this short video from our recent photo expedition to this Arctic paradise, created by myself and Grant Ordelheide.
Svalbard is a place unlike any other. Alluring, inspiring, and simply jaw-dropping in every way.
This expedition was the greatest trip I've ever been a part of. We traveled to the far reaches of the polar north where we ran into floating sea ice and polar bears. We circumnavigated polar ice caps and icy waters. We ventured into the deep fjords, adorned with tidewater glaciers and rugged mountains. And we did so much more.
We had spectacular wildlife encounters and experiences in the natural world, from being close to polar bears, walrus, belugas, and arctic fox to seeing massive glaciers and being surrounded by sea ice.
We have limited spots on our available future Svalbard departures. I urge you to join us for this experience of a lifetime. I've never been so moved by a location and there's no better way to experience it than our small-ship expedition.
Get ready to be inspired, amazed, and transported to the heart of the Arctic with us.
Your adventure of a lifetime awaits.
