Expedition Cruising Svalbard
A General Naturalist aboard Silversea Expeditions, Chris Srigley passes
along his passion for one of world's most remove regions -- the Svalbard
archipelago. Located roughly halfway between Norway's North Cape and
the North Pole, and spanning approximately 60,000 square kilometres,
Svalbard offers vistas of amazing beauty. Since the end of whaling
industry, wildlife species like the iconic walrus are once again
reclaiming the land. The region is also home to hundreds of thousands of
seabirds. You must witness for yourself the spectacle of a sky darkened
by a flapping cloud of squawking birds to truly appreciate the
magnificence of these numbers.Join Chris out on deck as
Silversea Expeditions guests sail past 80 degrees north into the realm
of the polar bear. The first sighting of voyage is a thrill you will not
soon forget. Scan the horizon for this elusive King of the Arctic that
is always on the move, searching for its next meal is a task that takes
perseverance and patience, and only authentic expedition vessel like
Silversea's with its ice-strengthened hull and experienced Captain can
cover such wide expanses in such a remote frozen sea. Silversea
Expeditions offers Arctic expeditions that cruise and explore the
Svalbard archipelago in luxurious style with seasonal departures from
Longyearbyen and Tromso.
