The Svalbard archipelago, also known as Spitsbergen, from the name of its main island, is located well beyond the Arctic Circle.
The Svalbard archipelago is a unique place, with a rich history, which has attracted explorers from all over the world since the end of the 16th century.
Nature is unforgiving and fragile, which is why more than half of Svalbard is protected, but it is also the kingdom of the polar bear that reigns over this territory. You will be amazed by this land that the Vikings nicknamed "The Cold Land".

Clothing Advice:
Depending on your sensitivity to the cold, you should choose clothing that protects you from water and wind. Choose materials such as fleece that insulate better from the cold than cotton. To keep warm, wear several light layers of clothing rather than just one.
