Svalbard and Jan is essentially a paradise nestled in the Arctic Ocean. Perhaps, the ideal way to enter the island is to sail through the Arctic. Located 600 miles from the North Pole, Svalbard is a haven for rare birds and mammals. A trip to this remote and peaceful corner of the world gives you with the chance for close encounters with Polar bears, foxes, walruses and reindeer. Birdwatchers can enjoy their time gazing at an incredible variety of birds through their binoculars-  Auks, Silver Gulls, Brunnich's Guillemots, Purple Sandpipers and Phalaropes,  just to name a few!

In contrast to Svalbard’s rich flora and fauna, the volcanic island of Jan Mayen is a feast for the eyes on account of its immeasurably beautiful landscape, dominated by the Beerenberg- a 2200 meters high active volcano. The island, situated half-way between Iceland and Svalbard, derived its name from Jan Jacobsz May, the Dutch whaler who landed here in 1614. With the slopes of Beerenberg perpetually covered in snow, a visit to the islands is a must for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the Arctic region in its purest form.
