About

High Arctic, Svalbard, Spitsbergen island... Located midway between continental Norway and North Pole, Svalbard is a dream of explorers. The nature is wild and grandiose, everything is in its superlative!
You will live  once-in-a-lifetime adventure snowmobiling along the gigantic glaciers that descend from the dramatic summits into the Greenland sea, crossing the frozen fjords and looking for a passage between majestic multi-colored mountains.
