Sval­bard win­ter 2016: pho­to trip and a bal­loon adven­ture

Some new ide­as for exci­ting tra­vels to Spits­ber­gen in win­ter 2016: tog­e­ther with Spitz­ber­gen Adven­tures, we are doing a pho­to trip into the arc­tic win­ter. In March, the regu­lar chan­ge bet­ween sun­light and dark­ness is brin­ging con­stant­ly chan­ging light and colours into the arc­tic win­ter land­scape. Based in Lon­gye­ar­by­en and Barents­burg, we will spend a full week to enjoy and explo­re the scenic beau­ty of Spits­ber­gen, most­ly using snow mobi­les for trans­por­ta­ti­on, at a time when the light is often at its best, from gla­cial ice caves to wide val­leys and the cold coast (lite­ral­ly: “Sval­bard”). Click here for more infor­ma­ti­on about this trip.

Addi­tio­nal­ly, Spitz­ber­gen Adven­tures has come up with some­thing real­ly new and spe­cial: the arc­tic bal­loon Adven­ture. Arc­tic sce­n­ery enjoy­ed from a bird’s eye view. Sin­ce flight­see­ing using moto­ri­zed air­craft inclu­ding pla­nes and heli­c­op­ters is com­ple­te­ly ban­ned, this is a uni­que and envi­ron­men­tal­ly sound oppor­tu­ni­ty to see ama­zing sce­n­ery from a total­ly new per­spec­ti­ve. The method has pro­ven to work spec­ta­cu­lar­ly during the solar eclip­se in Sval­bard in March 2015. Now, Spitz­ber­gen Adven­tures is offe­ring seve­ral depar­tures for tho­se who are keen on this adven­ture (click here for more info).
