Overview

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! The All Day Aurora is an incredible and unique experience never to be forgotten!
