Ursus MaritimusKing of the Arctic

On this snowmobile trip we will go to the magnificent east coast, where the nature is untouched and the land frozen solid. We will experience a view that is hard to describe. You don’t want to miss this amazing experience.

About 3000 polar bears are living in and around Svalbard during the winter months. However, it is not easy to spot one of these fantastic animals. The best chance of seeing one is on the east coast of Spitsbergen. To get there we need to drive across glaciers and through one of the largest valleys of Svalbard. At the top of the glaciers we will stop to enjoy the view of Barents- and Edgeøya – two remote and uninhabited islands.

After a long, but easy ride on the snowmobile, we will arrive at the east coast. Here is the realm of the polar bears. Thus, we need to be on guard. We don’t have permission to track down polar bears, but if we use our binoculars we might get the opportunity to observe these majestic creatures from a safe distance.

Here, we will enjoy the deafening silence and the magnificence of nature. Huge icebergs and sea ice as far as the eyes can see and enormous glacier fronts advancing into the wide sea. This is Svalbard.
