Essential for all English speaking Spitsbergen fans:
The new, fourth edition of the guidebook Spitsbergen – Svalbard
»Spitsbergen – Svalbard« has detailed information about the flora and fauna of Spitsbergen, its nature and human history and detailed chapters about all regions, fjords, islands and settlements. The various seasons are described and different ways of traveling. Routes are described in detail for popular snow mobile excursions, day hikes, long trekking expeditions and boat trips. 14 mammal species, 26 bird species and 29 flower species are described in detail and illustrated with colour photographs. Many maps within the text provide geographical orientation – these are amongst the many important improvements compared to previous editions. The polar bear risk and issues related to weapons are discussed. Detailed information about relevant legislation as well as names of all wildlife and plant species described in no less than 10 languages make the book a complete reference also for professional guides. This is by far the most complete Svalbard guidebook available on the market!
