Venture north during the summer months for a holiday in Svalbard, which offers unique activities, excursions and accommodation during the warmer months.
The unspoilt archipelago of Svalbard, the northernmost outpost of Norway located midway between the mainland and the North Pole, is often better known for its winter holiday offering as well as being the starting point for Arctic summer cruises. However, with the midnight sun allowing plenty of time to explore the rugged landscapes and fjords teaming with migrating birds, walruses, seals and whales, land-based holidays during the summer are growing in popularity and offer so much for outdoor enthusiasts.
