Tread Remote Paths

At the height of summer in the High Arctic, thousands of migrating birds make their nests for the season and create the chorus that defines the sounds of Svalbard. While the hard tundra may seem inhospitable, life finds a way to break through at the ground level with rich flora blooming in unexpected places. Follow in the wake of great explorers who came before as you cross the 80th parallel at Moffen. Volcanic islands on the edges of the Earth beckon you and your fellow explorers, inviting you to trek the same paths few others have taken. Inspiring scenes of snow-capped mountains and glaciers stir within you the spirit of exploration, waiting to break free. A rich, contrasting landscape with some parts made for hiking and others for Zodiac safaris, you’re sure to find a one-of-a-kind adventure. Together with your expedition team and fellow explorers, you will discover these awe-inspiring scenes and find moments of tranquility that invoke introspection.
