New Year's Eve in Svalbard
Trip to bid farewell to the year in one of the most remote places on earth
Our trip takes place in Longyearbyen, the northernmost settlement in the world, located just 1,300 km from the North Pole. Here we will say goodbye to the year in a special and unique way, following the Norwegian tradition.
We will take a dog sled route while experiencing polar night, where there is no difference between day and night, darkness reigns in every place of the island, and stars and Northern Lights give us an unforgettable experience.
In addition, we will make a route on snowshoes to an ice cave, where we will enter equipped with helmets and lanterns. Optionally we can make trips on a snowmobile and live the experience of observing the Northern Lights, the most impressive luminous phenomenon of nature.
