#Svalbard

A rare celestial event calls for an exceptional team. On our August 2026 Solar Eclipse Expedition to Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard, three specialists will join us to transform a once-in-a-lifetime sight into a deeper scientific journey.

The polar regions are the coldest, windiest, and perhaps the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. While the Arctic and Antarctic may seem similar, they differ vastly. Find out why in this article, and how to pick between an expedition in Antarctica or across the Arctic regions, accordingly.

The population of Svalbard is approximately 2500. Longyearbyen is the largest settlement in the islands and is also the seat of the governor. It's a colourful modern town with first-class facilities, like excellent hotels and restaurants, regular flight connections to mainland Norway, as well as an impressive range of activities to suit every traveller.

The African jungle has the lion, the Arctic has the polar bear. This fierce yet cuddly-looking creature dominates the icy wilderness at the top of the food chain. If visitors are lucky, they'll come across the polar bear on a cruise to Svalbard. Check out these facts about polar bears - the king of the ice!

The Arctic Circle is the only place in the world where you can see this magnificent creature in its natural habitat.

In the northernmost part of the world, where the ice is thick and the air is cold, there lives a creature. Laying your eyes on a polar bear is just an adventure away.
