    • Svalbard, Norway
    Our travel in the archipelago is truly exploratory by design and our exact day-today movements will remain flexible, depending on local conditions. Our main focus will be to explore and absorb the stunning early season sea and landscapes each day under near-ideal light for photography. Like the icons of this icy realm, the walrus and the polar bear, our movements will be in reaction to the frozen seas and the shifting currents as we search for the creatures who thrive in this wintry wilderness. The polar bears will be returning to spring feeding grounds when/where the seals are pupping and our ace staff will be on constant lookout. We will use our agile Zodiac fleet to cruise among the small ice floes and icebergs and maybe even set foot on the frozen ocean (only possible in the early season). The Arctic light at this time of year is exceptional and ever-changing and you'll have the rare opportunity to witness it. We'll chase the light and near pristine conditions with a National Geographic photographer by your side to help you capture your best photographs. (B.L,D) ...
