When the Arctic comes to life

Springtime in Svalbard

Watch the Arctic come to life

There is something truly special about experiencing Svalbard early in the season. When the sun returns after the long, dark winter, it feels like a rebirth. The vast white landscapes remain almost untouched, the fjord ice is still thick, and the rays of the midnight sun fall across glittering ice formations. Like something out of a winter fairytale.

Above, you can see a selection of images from this year’s expedition cruises in May.
