What's this trip about?

    Join pro photographer Roger Brendhagen on a Svalbard photo expedition onboard an expedition vessel with just 12 guests. The journey will take us up the north coast of Spitsbergen with the view to opening up as many photo opportunities as possible.  We will explore frozen shores and photograph the Arctic wildlife and landscapes of Svalbard. This unique voyage takes place early in the season as Svalbard emerges from the winter. The mountains are snow-covered and the shores still frozen, offering some great photo opportunities. This tour takes place on a warm and comfortable expedition vessel with just 12 guests. The exact route will be determined by the sea ice conditions which is all part of the spirit of adventure of exploration.
