Svalbard at a glance

There are 3 main seasons in Svalbard due to it’s position within the Arctic Circle – Polar Summer, Polar Winter and Sunny Winter. During the winter, the sun never comes above the horizon meaning you have darkness all day – to some this may be worrisome – but for the serious Aurora hunter it means an opportunity to spot the Aurora even whilst having your breakfast! An incredible and unique experience never to be forgotten!
