Spitsbergen

Set high in the Arctic Ocean is the remote and untouched Svalbard archipelago, covering an area roughly the size of Ireland and is dominated by the island of Spitsbergen. Not as cold or as inaccessible as people might think, Spitsbergen offers the adventurous visitor a truly Arctic experience, on the edge of the inhabitable world.
