Holiday Idea
A harsh but beautiful wilderness within relatively easy reach, this archipelago above the treeline is an Arctic kingdom ruled by polar bears. Your summer adventure takes you to spend six nights at the top of the world, split between time spent based in Longyearbyen and three days at Kapp Linne in the west. Take part in exhilarating activities under the glow of the midnight sun.
