North.
We are on our way to the Arctic Circle via Norway. Soon we will be as far north as one can go without an icebreaker ship — 350 miles north of Norway’s northernmost point. Svalbard is a group of islands punctuated by massive icebergs, deep fjords, and ice-capped mountains. And, it is the best place on the planet to see the master of the Arctic, the polar bear.
Lisa and I hope to capture photographs of those polar bears along with walruses, arctic foxes and a variety of arctic birds. We’ll share those with you as we capture them on our cameras.
Before we go north, we will make stops in Copenhagen, Denmark and Oslo, Norway. We’ll then fly to Svalbard and board the National Geographic ship, the Resolution.
Join us as we experience a world we have never before seen. You can subscribe to our blog by entering your e-mail on the right side of this page.
See you in Copenhagen!

The Longyearbyen harbor was choked with sea ice a couple of weeks ago. Tried to go to Pyramiden but the fjord was all iced up, as well. We saw 3 polar bears that day, though. The closest one was only 200 yards away, the furthest one was 400 yards away. I observed those bears with one eye closed: 350 pics! You guys enjoy your time in the Arctic!
