Eighty North - Sailing The Arctic (Svalbard)
We didn’t know it at the time, but in August 2017 we set off on an expedition that turned out to be one of the best trips we have ever taken. Sailing from Longyearbyen in Svalbard(an island directly between mainland Norway and the north pole) to 80 degrees north. The trip was nothing short of spectacular, seeing wild polar bears, reindeer and plenty of massive glaciers. The people on board the yacht made this an amazing sail!
Whether you have sailing experience or not, if you want to see the Arctic in a unique way, I would definitely recommend @arcticexplorers. Check them out here...

Exploring Svalbard and Spitsbergen by sailboat, a real arctic adventure!
A film from our sailing adventures around Svalbard.
SeilNorge is the country’s leading organizer of inspiring sailing courses, trips and expeditions.
We sail from islands to mountains to see, learn and experience. Playing in the wind, the water, the fjord, the archipelago and up into the mountains. We combine sailing with mountain walks, kayaking, fishing, music, food, festivals, skiing. You name it!
Our biggest motivation is to create memories for life. Memories which are shaped through close, personal experiences or the grand and spectacular. Either way, you’ll head home with your barrel brimming with new friendships and experiences

About me: my name is Shane. I am a all-time travel addict who loves to go to places whenever possible. One of the things I love about traveling is that it helps me gain new perspectives, eliminate prejudice and ask questions that never crossed my mind before. Each journey is of course marked even in a better scope with the people and stories. So those are what I want to share with you in the channel. Hope it can bring interesting perspective either for you as a traveler or for information.

Making Landfall at the Top of the World after 12 Days at Sea: SVALBARD in the Arctic Circle
After 12 days at sea through rough weather, the hard part is over...or is it. Our arrival in Svalbard takes a turn, literally, and we're suddenly facing 20 knots of wind in an unfamiliar harbour.
We have been working very hard on our next Greenland episode, but it's not ready yet. So we interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you this more recent recording. Tune in next Sunday for the continuation of our sailing in Greenland series.

Norway: Into the Arctic 4K
A few months ago one of my best friends says, Hey, flights to Norway are really inexpensive. You guys want to go?” After pondering this for 15 seconds I said yes. From there friends were added, an additional flight to the arctic circle area of the Lofoten Islands was planned and many cameras were packed in bags. Here you will find 3 minutes distilled from over six and a half hours of real-time footage I took. I couldn’t stop filming. It was one of the most epic trips of my life. The most beautiful place I have been on this planet so far. We got back less than a week ago. Even though I’m jet lagged still, I knew I had to get this out there right away. So hope you enjoy! If you haven’t been, go. If you have been, you know. Hopefully this inspires you to get out and travel more! And to all my amazing friends that made the trip what it was: Where’s next??

Svalbard 2012
The Ultimate Arctic Experience? May/June 2012 we were 5 friends spending 1 week isolated in our camp on the Wahlenberg glacier on the island Spitsbergen on Svalbard. Surrounded by ice, snow and mountains, there is nothing else to do then go randonee and telemarking on any top you can see. The options are endless, and there is so much more to do. Got to go back there one day! :)
Note that on just about all these shots it is the midnight sun you are seeing. The light is awesome throughout the whole night!

Pyramiden and Nordenskiöldbreen glacier trip 2019, from Longyearbyen, Svalbard via Arctic Explorer
The day began with a 12:45pm pick up from our hotel where we were driven to the port. We got on a nice comfortable catamaran, tea, coffee and biscuits were free all day. Waffles, hotdogs and drinks were also available but paid (30 to 40krone each)
On the way we visited the Nordenskiöldbreen glacier (very windy) which was spectacular.
We got to Pyramiden at 4pm and got onto a bus where was taken into the centre part of the town. We was given a tour around and inside three main buildings - the canteen (building 1), swimming baths (building 2) and cultural centre (building 3). The cultural centre had toilets, bar/cafe and a small shop. The tour guide said there was 50 people who lived there permanently and worked in tourism and construction.
Overall the tour was very good and enjoyable.
Got the catamaran back, stopping at a Swedish house where we saw a polar bear !! (Amazing!). The tour finished at 7.40pm.
10/10 a definite must
