Arctic Photography Tours

The Arctic is a photographer's paradise. This is the land of the polar bear, or "ice bear," as it is also referred to. Sheets of ice, along with seasonal wildflowers, mix in the landscape to create a kaleidoscope of textures and color. Your lense will capture all the landscape, scenery and wildlife that the arctic has to offer.

Upcoming Arctic Photography Sailings

• Land of the Ice Bears (June 4, 11, 18, 25; July 2, 2008)
  Join National Geographic and Lindblad photographers to Svalbard, a remote archipelago situated just over 350 miles north of Norway's North Cape, a place of deep fjords, mountains and massive sheets of ice. During summer, when the sun never sets, the tundra experiences a warm awakening. It is carpeted with wildflowers. Ice-peppered fjords ring with the thunderous sound of glacial ice crashing to the sea. Walrus raise their sleepy heads to observe us. And everyone holds their breath as a polar bear is spotted and cameras click wildly. Experience nature in its purest form in the High Arctic.

With such an abundance of photo opportunities, it’s no wonder the Arctic is on the lists of so many photographers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
