Discover Spitsbergen
The high Arctic destination of Spitsbergen is the largest island in the remote Svalbard archipelago lying halfway between northern Norway and the North Pole. Marking the edge of the habitable world, this ruggedly beautiful land with it's abundant birdlife and rich marine-life is best explored from the sea on a expedition cruise. Join videographer Lee Thomas on this introduction to Spitsbergen, shot in summer 2014.

Discover Svalbard: Islands where People and Polar Bears Live Together!
Discover Svalbard; a frosty wonderland like no other. Can you imagine a place where polar bears outnumber people and reindeer traffic jams are commonplace?
It’s all part of this arctic province. Today we will uncover 68 incredible and lesser-known facts about Svalbard that will leave you amazed!
Discover the beauty of Svalbard on an expedition cruise
The surreal Arctic archipelago of Svalbard is carved out by icy fjords and tidewater glaciers. Dramatic mountain scenery is accented by the midnight sun, providing abundant opportunities for wildlife viewing. Svalbard is ideal for a camera-distance audience with polar bears.
A small cruise ship with a fleet of Zodiacs lets you discover all of the islands’ hidden treasures. Poseidon Expeditions' m/v Sea Spirit is just the right size to maneuver into the protected channels and bays, embracing the expedition part of the voyage.
Within the network of national parks that protect the fragile Arctic ecosystem, we can spot the Arctic fox, reindeer, seals, walruses, and whales. Ice is ever-present here: more than half of the land area in Spitsbergen, Svalbard’s largest island, is glaciated. We also encounter a surprising wealth of hardy plant life and striking geology throughout the area.

Amazing Things to Do in Svalbard & Top Svalbard Attractions
Discover with us the most amazing things to do in Svalbard & Top Svalbard attractions. If you are looking for the real arctic adventures close to the North Pole, visit Svalbard which is one largest untouched wilderness areas in the world.
A top starting point for travelers is Longyearbyen which belongs to the world’s northernmost settlements and is a gateway to the nature-based experiences in Svalbard. This cosmopolitan arctic town has many hotels, bars and restaurants where you can enjoy food and drinks surrounded by majestic mountains and nature. Taste grilled Atlantic cod with potato salad and beans, it is delicious.
In order to stay safe, make sure to be accompanied by a professional guide when you go outside from Longyearbyen to explore Svalbard’s arctic wilderness. You can do it driving snowmobile or go dog sledding and admire the white-covered Arctic desert at a pleasant pace powered only by your new four-legged friends. Dogs are very friendly, love extra attention and playing with them is addictive
On your expedition you can meet one of the world’s largest carnivores - the polar bear which is also known as the King of the Arctic.
Meet also walruses resting on floating blocks of ice. However, they can be very sensitive to people being too close or boats. To observe them safely, remember to travel on organized tours with local guides.
While polar bears and walruses you can observe in Svalbard all year long, it is only from late April to August when you can see here Atlantic puffins which are easily recognizable thanks to their famous colorful bills. Did you know that their life expectancy is 30 years or even more?
Do not miss the Svalbard Global Seed Vault which is the world’s largest storage of duplicates of seed samples from the world’s crop collections. It is not open, but a guide can take you close to the entrance where seeds are stored at a temperature of -18ºC.
Another worth-while attraction is the abandoned Soviet coal mining town Pyramiden. Today a ghost town, in its heyday it used to be a settlement of over 1000 inhabitants. It is well preserved thanks to the cold climate, and it is becoming a popular tourist attraction. There is also a hotel with a restaurant and a souvenir shop.

What’s it like to do an expedition cruise around Svalbard?
Polar bears, glaciers, and oh so many seabirds… Embarking on an expedition cruise to the Arctic islands of Svalbard is like venturing into another world or an earlier version of this one.
As you’ll see in this beautifully shot video, Svalbard (also known as Spitsbergen) is virtually overflowing with well-earned superlatives: Amazing, astonishing, and especially epic are all adjectives that come to mind when trying to describe what makes Svalbard expedition cruises so special.
And since Svalbard is virtually bursting with eye-popping landscapes and exotic wildlife, we asked travel filmmaker Tim Charody to embark on one of our expedition cruises to the archipelago to ask our passengers what they love so much about this incomparable location.
Included in this video are interviews shot on location in Svalbard, giving you a little taste of what you might experience on an expedition cruise there. We also explain what exactly an expedition cruise is, since it differs so radically from standard cruises by emphasizing wildlife and exploration.
Also featured in this video are clips of the many activities you can enjoy in Svalbard, such as shoreline hikes and Zodiac cruises, as well as shots of the local land mammals, marine life, and seabirds. These species include but are not limited to:
• Polar bears
• Humpback whales
• Walruses
• Bearded seals
• Puffins
• Arctic foxes
• Kittiwakes
• Reindeer
Though we cannot guarantee you will see any one species, our expedition guides will always be on the lookout for them. And if safety concerns regarding weather, ice conditions, and polar bear presence force us to alter out itinerary, we will always choose the best possible alternative.
Whatever your personal experience on a Svalbard cruise, our expedition leaders and guides will always do their utmost to get you off the ship and into the action as much as possible. That is what separates an Oceanwide cruise from the rest of the polar pack.

Urlaub in Longyearbyen auf Spitzbergen | Norwegen | TRAVELBOOK
Longyearbyen auf Spitzbergen ist einer der nördlichsten Orte der Welt. Durch seine Nähe zur Arktis ist es dort so kalt, dass der Boden permanent gefroren ist. TRAVELBOOK-Redakteurin Larissa war vor Ort und erzählt, wie Urlaub auf Spitzbergen beeindrucken kann.
Spannender Fakt über diesen besonderen Ort: Hier ist sterben „verboten“. Naja. Also sterben kann man schon, aber begraben wird man hier nicht mehr. Denn: Der Boden ist zu kalt. Wenn man hier Leichen vergräbt, kommen sie früher oder später wieder an die Oberfläche.
Zum sterben müssen die Menschen hier auf's norwegische Festland, so das Gesetz.
Darüber sprechen wir:
00:20 - 01:27 Anreise
01:28 - 3:22 Eindruck vor Ort
3:23 - 6:23 Was können Touristen auf Longyearbyen erleben
6:24 - 8:25 Leben in Longyearbyen
