Parks & Attractions in Svalbard

The northernmost human settlements on earth are found here, specifically on the largest island of Spitsbergen, where the ‘cold edge’ of Svalbard (its literal meaning) is tempered by the moderating Gulf Stream, making it a more habitable environment. It is nonetheless estimated that here there are more polar bears than there are humans, making this prime territory for some enthralling polar bear quests and the starting point for your frozen adventure.

The Svalbard archipelago is Europe’s largest wilderness, a fascinating collection of islands within Norway that are closer to the North Pole than they are to the capital city of Oslo.
