Expedition Itinerary - Spitsbergen in Depth
Arctic Wonderland
(July 26 to August 8, 2011) The Svalbard archipelago, including the "big island" of Spitsbergen, lies entirely within the Arctic Circle. It is rugged, wild, unspoiled - and utterly unforgettable. Quark's Spitsbergen tours are rapidly taking a place among the world's great adventure expeditions, on par with safaris to the Galapagos Islands or the African Serengeti.
Here the mythic ice bear is king – Spitsbergen offers the world’s best opportunity to view these majestic predators in their natural habitat. Walrus populate these islands in great numbers. - "hauling out" on rocky beachheads to rest after feeding in Spitsbergen's food-rich icy waters. Rubber inflatable boats - Zodiacs - and sea-kayaks bring you up-close-and-personal with these and many other Arctic mammals, seabirds and more.
Choose Quark for your Spitsbergen expedition, and join the privileged few to have explored, in depth, this pristine Arctic wonderland.
