Arctic Holidays - Land Based extensions
Beyond the tree-line at the earth's northernmost extremity lies the Arctic, a vast ice-clothed wilderness of continent, ocean, islands and ice-sheets, inaccessible for much of the year. Silent, pristine, dramatic. As the sun returns in the spring and the temperatures rise, The Arctic offers extraordinary opportunities for the intrepid traveller in search of a truly unique land-based polar adventure.
For those travellers wishing to explore the island of Spitsbergen further with an extension of a day or two pre or post cruise, the following optional day activities can be arranged through us from Longyearbyen:
• Cultural & Historical Guided Tour of Longyearbyen
• Dog Sledding (on wheels)
• Fossil hunt to Longyear Glacier with pack dogs
• Guided walking in the hills above Longyearbyen (3-6 hours)
• Explore inside the Longyear Glacier
• Boat trip to Isfjord Radio
• Visit to an operational coal mine
Alternatively we can look into extensions within mainland Norway, such as the stunning train from Oslo to Bergen.
We can book any of these excursions for you as part of your trip. Please contact the office for further details
