Description
Discover Arctic highlights! Iceland impresses with magical landscapes and teeming birdlife, remote Jan Mayen rises from the mid-Atlantic ridge and Svalbard’s high Arctic islands host powerful walrus and polar bear. Spectacular scenery, fantastic fjords and the Midnight Sun provide a stunning backdrop to this expedition.
Unspoiled and geologically active
Icelandic nature offers stunning landscapes with waterfalls amongst Europe’s most powerful and awe-inspiring. Iceland is located at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a position that means that the landscape is highly active geologically, with many erupting volcanoes and geysers. Experience a variety of islands, towns and settlements, spectacular views and interesting sites, accompanied by our knowledgeable Expedition team.
Remote beauty – cruising to Jan Mayen
Discover the unique settlement of Jan Mayen, with a population of just 14 persons. This volcanic island in the middle of the north Atlantic is rarely visited by ships. We should get a fine view of Beerenburg volcano stretching 2,277 metres above sea level.
Realm of the polar bear – Svalbard
Located just 600 miles from the north pole, Svalbard is an island of deep fjords, mighty glaciers and pure wilderness. In the summer, beautiful colours and contrasts frame dramatic glaciers, mountains, bird cliffs and endless arctic tundra with diverse flora and fauna, dominated by the mighty polar bear. Join us as we set sail for South Spitsbergen National Park and Isfjorden on Svalbard’s largest island, Spitsbergen.
