Spitsbergen ExplorerStarting from: $4,490pp 11 Days / 10 Nights Dates: Akademik Sergey Vavilov This 11-day active adventure begins and ends in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, one of Norway’s Arctic islands in the Svalbard archipelago. The aim of this expedition is to explore the coastline of the largest island in the group, Spitsbergen. The exact course depends on local weather and ice conditions. We expect to explore magnificent fjords, cruise in Zodiacs past towering sea cliffs and encounter polar bears and walrus in their natural habitat. Optional kayaking is available. ItineraryDay 1 — Embarkation: Longyearbyen Day 2-4 — Western Spitsbergen Day 5-8 — Smeerenburg / Phippsoya / Thousand Islands The temperature drops as we continue northward, crossing 80° N, 965 km (600 miles) from the North Pole. Polar bear and walrus are known to inhabit the waters around this small archipelago, the most northerly in Svalbard! Norway's Arctic Islands of Svalbard are so numerous that certain areas within the archipelago have names that reflect the profusion, Tusenoyane (Thousand Islands) for example. We'll go ashore on Aekongen to seek Red-throated Divers and a whale skeleton. Day 9-10 — Bourbonhamna Day 11 — Longyearbyen - Disembarkation What's Included:
