Norway, Spitsbergen, Iceland, Greenland & Antarctica
Since 1893 Hurtigruten has explored the Norwegian coast and the polar waters of remote shores. We are still exploring and introducing new fjords and excursions along the long and rugged Norwegians coast, where 22 of the 34 ports that we call at on a daily basis are north of the Arctic Circle!
Our Explorer ship MS Fram continues the Norwegian tradition of exploring the white areas of our planet, sailing
the waters of Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen and Norway. MS Fram is small enough to reach the
interesting sites, yet big enough for comfort even in rough weather. Being on an Explorer voyage means travelling in remote regions where weather and ice guides the route. Voyages run to flexible schedules and we make the best of our conditions at hand – and of course, safety always comes first.
Spitsbergen/Svalbard Photo Tour
Spitsbergen is the largest island in Norway's Svalbard Archipelago and it is often named as the world's most photogenic location for polar bears and other Arctic wildlife. Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris offers photographers unparalleled opportunities to visit Spitsbergen to photograph polar bears, walrus, seals, whales, reindeer and a variety of seabirds on an exclusive cruise led by some of the world's top nature photographers. This is a cruise by photographers, for photographers. You can find more information at

Discover Spitsbergen
The high Arctic destination of Spitsbergen is the largest island in the remote Svalbard archipelago lying halfway between northern Norway and the North Pole. Marking the edge of the habitable world, this ruggedly beautiful land with it's abundant birdlife and rich marine-life is best explored from the sea on a expedition cruise. Join videographer Lee Thomas on this introduction to Spitsbergen, shot in summer 2014.

Pyramiden a Russian Ghost Town | Travel Film from Svalbard with Drone
Pyramiden is an abandoned ghost town 78,4 degrees north. Only 800 miles from the North Pole. Take a tour with me in inside this deserted town from the Soviet - Era.One of the northernmost permanent settlements.
And maybe, just maybe, I will show you how it looks from above!
I say maybe because sometimes not everything goes as planned.
Come with me as I walk through the city and inside the cultural center where I will play on the northernmost piano.
I have one major goal here. As a man with a drone I have my mind set that I want to fly in and over this abandoned russian town. And this is a unique location! A premium destination to explore.
This town was founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to Soviet Union in 1927.
In 1998 all 1000 inhabitants was gone leaving everything behind.
Today only six people inhabit this village, working as guides or in the hotel or the bar made availble for the tourist that travel here.
The buildings is, and will be, preserved a long time ,up to 500 years, because of the artic climate.
In the city they had a hospital, kindergarden, school, a house for single women, one for single men and one for the families. The latter called the Mad House because of all the noise.
This is the final part of my 3 part series from Svalbard or Spitsbergen as it is also refered to. And what a trip it has been. So much we experienced in this short time. Fossilhunting in Longyearbyen, Boattrip on the road to the Pyramid and finally this tour through and maybe over Pyramiden.
I ve spent alot of time on these videos and I hope that you appreciate the effort I put into these drone film /videos. And I hope you will like and subscribe to my channel!

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Welcome to Greenland.
We're here on the Greenland Explorer withQuark Expeditions and we're joined by the Expedition Leader, Alex McNeil.
Can you just run us through what maybe 24
hours might be like on the ship here?
An average day for me would probably be waking
up around 5 O'clock, and heading to the bridge
looking at local conditions, ice weather,
current, assessing our progress, towards our
proposed destination and looking for any opportunities
along the way.
And the essentially we have a time where we
plan to wake the passengers up.
Usually anywhere from 5:30 to 7:30 at the
latest, sometimes we give people a little
bit of a sleep in.
Then we go out on a morning excursion for
sure, for example, this morning we had a zodiac
cruise and a landing, the tide just got out,
we had a really good extended hike, and we're
going to assess opportunities.
Ready for a great day on the water!
Ship cruise the entirety of the Fjord, it's
about 60 miles
Picturesque jagged peaks, glaciers, that will
be great regardless, and who knows what opportunities
will present for zodiac cruises and other
adventures.
I forgot one thing, we're gonna get you to
jump in the water at some point too.
Oh,
Because we're back in the ice, and we've got
a little bit colder water, so it's time for
a polar plunge.
I like that, it's a little bit colder water.
We want it to be as cold as possible so people
can get the true feeling of the Polar Plunge.
If you go on a Quark Expedition Ship, make
sure to do the polar plunge, whether it's
in the Antarctic or it's up here in Greenland,
do it!
And Vodka is your reward, mine's empty.
Another fantastic day here in Greenland, as
you can see, the landscape never stops changing.
See ya!
Another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Wow, behind me is Jacobs Harbour, and this
is a harbour filled with ice bergs that come
from Jacobs Glacier.
And as we were told, all of these ice bergs,
eventually make it out of here and travel
all the way to Canada.
Walking in the Tundra in the Arctic.
It's the spirit of adventure,
You never know what's going to happen and
that's what great about the Arctic.
It's just adventure around every corner.
Cheers from Greenland.
So you know if you need any motivation to
go to the Arctic, well you got it now.
Come to Greenland, we'll see you there.
POLAR BEAR VOYAGE! Spitsbergen/Svalbard
A one week circumnavigation around Spitbergen with Hurtigruten in Svalbard is a great cruise voyage to see polar bears!
The high arctic has a lot to offer and the landscapes are perfect for photography. We managed to see polar bears, arctic fox, whales, reindeer and walrus!

10 Amazing Travel Experiences You Have to Do Before You Die
Get more Tips here!
The world is magical, fascinating, mysterious, and beautiful. Here are some amazing international destinations that you absolutely need to see before you’re too old to travel.
1. See a Polar Bear in Spitsbergen, Norway
In most cases, you’d have to go to a Pole to find a polar bear to gawk at — unless you make a trip to Spitsbergen, Norway, where there are actually more polar bears than people (which pretty much guarantees a sighting).
2. Get Up Close and Personal at the Great Barrier Reef
Hundreds of species of fish and colorful coral mingle on Australia’s most famous natural wonder. Here’s one you might want to book while you can, as climate change is having a harsh impact on this massive natural wonder.
3. Visit the Galápagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands are worth a visit even if you’re not a biologist because the remote island chain is home to dozens of species that you can’t find anywhere else in the world. It’s like walking through the world’s most unique zoo.
4. Dive With Blue Whales in Sri Lanka
Why wast your money diving with boring old sharks when you could share the water with the heaviest creatures ever born on the planet Earth. At Weligama Bay, a budding tourism industry takes ambitious divers on a trip to get up close and personal with these ancient leviathans.
5. Explore the Nooks and Crannies of Venice, Italy
Take the time to strap on your walking shoes and wander, because this city is gorgeous from top to bottom. When you want to get back on the beaten path, simply pick up a water taxi.
6. Participate in Thailand’s Yi Peng Festival
The Festival is marked by parades and shows of all kinds, but the centerpiece is the ritual in which thousands of people release glowing lanterns into the sky in a nighttime ceremony that needs to be seen to be beleived. Though foreigners can’t participate until a week after the official ceremony, both experiences are magical.
7. Find the Time to See Iguaçu Falls
Sure, Niagara gets all the publicity, but it’s a stagnant puddle compared to the powerful Iguaçu Falls in Ecuador, one of the widest waterfalls in the world. More than 250 cascades are spread across a two-mile stretch of hike-able land that you should absolutely take the time to experience.
8. Travel Across the Salt Flats of Bolivia … Twice
You’ll never truly understand the vast expanses of the planet Earth until you find yourself surrounded by the seemingly endless salt flats of Bolivia. At various points of the year, the terrain is wildly different. In the dry season, the flat plain is a hexagonal wonderland, while the wet season submerges the flats in shallow water and casts a mirror image onto the sky.
9. Get Lost in Kathmandu
Obviously, keep safety in mind when you’re traveling through the beautiful country of Nepal. That being said, using caution doesn’t mean you should avoid the capital city’s back alleys, where dogs run back and forth and locals have adorned the narrow streets with beautiful flowers.
10. Blow Some Money in Monte Carlo
Experience the height of decadence in Monte Carlo, where some of the swankiest hotels and casinos suck in travelers from around the world.Also, the beautiful beaches are still very inviting and the quaint city streets are a delight to walk through.
Which one of these you won't miss?

Hurtigruten Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Hurtigruten in Norway.
We begin one of the most beautiful sea journeys in the world in Bergen, an ancient seaport and trading town where we will be passengers on Norway’s,‘Hurtigruten’. The Bryggen district was once founded by the German Hanse and is one of Bergen’s most famous landmarks. The picturesque houses that once belonged to German traders make the charming historical district look more like an open air museum. The Ms Nordnorge is one of a new generation of ships that belong to the famous Hurtigruten Fleet and can take seven hundred passengers. At the mouth of the Nidelv in the Trondheimsfjord is the third largest city in Norway, Trondheim, an important trading and administrative centre. At the beginning of the thirteenth century Trondheim was a city of great influence and was also where the Norwegian kings of mediaeval times were crowned and although it gradually lost its political importance it still contains several fascinating buildings. From Trondheim the ship travels the century-old historic route north into Norway’s most remote regions. Four and a half hours from Bodø and we arrive at the Lofoten, a fairy-tale group of islands in the North Atlantic. When the weather is fine we relax on deck, take in the fresh sea air and sunbathe while the ship glides through the water. A round trip through the historic town of Kirkenes marks the end of a wonderful journey through the fjords and coastal towns in the north of Norway.
