Ursus maritimus – Kongen av Arktis -Better Moments

Better Moments #1 TripAdvisor 2016

There are about 3000 polar bears in Svalbard during the winter months. However, it is not easy to spot one of these fantastic creatures. The best chances to see one, is at the east coast of Spitsbergen. To get there we need to drive through one of the largest valleys of Svalbard and across the glaciers towards the east. At the top of the glaciers we will stop to admire the view of Barents- and Edgeøya. After a long but easy ride, we will arrive at the east coast. Here we need to be on guard. This is the realm of the polar bears. We don't have permission to track down polar bears, but if we use our binoculars we might have an opportunity to view this majestic creature from a distance.

Ocean ice and huge icebergs as far as the eyes can see, and enormous glacier fronts protruding from the sea. Here we will enjoy the deafening silence and the magnificence of nature.
