In this remote area. the focus is surely on nature's grand displays.
• Light： During summer months the sun never sets. In winter it never rises, but the northern lights dance across the sky.
• Wildlife： Reindeer and arctic foxes wander on the land, and seals swim offshore. Polar bears can be hard to spot, but that first sighting makes all the effort worthwhile.
• Landscapes： Glaciers and snow covered mountains fill the views.
Photo Tips
If you're a photographer, be prepared for anything at all times because conditions can vary from one moment to the next. To capture both landscapes and wildlife,bring wide-angle and telephoto cameras and a water resistant camera bag or a smart phone case is a must. When composing shots of the scenery,you can include the horizon line to give a sense of the area's vastness. In spring and fall,pay special attention to the scenery at sunrise and sunset. When the light shines on edges of the ice, the ocean looks like a shiny object.
How to Get There
Most visitors fly via Oslo to Longyearbyen, the largest settlement there, which hugs the shore of Spitsbergen island. Because there aren't many reliable roads, exploration is usually done with small ships（fewer than 200 passengers） that can navigate through areas of thick sea ice. You can travel onto the tundra （冻土地带） and into caves for guided hiking and wildlife watching.
