Description
Svalbard Spitsbergen, Jan Mayen and Franz Josef Land is a comprehensive guide to this remote Arctic archipelago. Thoroughly updated for its sixth edition, the Bradt guide offers new insights into adventure tours, accommodation, environmental change, and dining options, as well as the restoration of Barentsburg and the opening of historic mines to visitors. Located in one of the most northerly parts of Europe, Svalbard is a destination that embodies extremes. With its 3,000-strong polar bear population and just 2,500 inhabitants, it's a place where adventure seekers can experience unique experiences like husky driving and hikes across permafrost. The main tourist season runs from June to August, when the sun remains constant and temperatures are relatively mild. This guide provides essential information for anyone planning a trip to Svalbard, including practical details on how to navigate this extraordinary environment.
