1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The midnight sun, the dogs, the vastness and rough beauty2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Prepare to be limited in movement due to polarbear risk3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
No not really4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Great !Read the operator's response here:
In such a remote and somewhat untouched world without any native or local populations the efforts to reduce environmental impacts or support conservation might not be immediately obvious. However, even just by booking this trip a proportion of the booking is a ‘CO2 and environmental investment’, which goes towards the support of number of projects. Recent projects funded on Svalbard including a herb garden at Isfjord Radio Adventure Hotel, improved awareness of the Kapp Linne Nature Reserve as well as a litter removal project that involved 23 volunteers and across approximately 4.5 km of beaches they picked up around 1,100 kg of litter.
