YouTube Video Description

Polar bears, glaciers, whales, icebergs, walruses, seals, and oh so many seabirds… The Arctic archipelago of Svalbard is virtually spilling over with polar superlatives, a surreal polar hotspot bursting with more eye-popping landscapes and exotic wildlife than can be suitably (or safely) described in any one sentence. But how about a video? We asked travel filmmaker Tim Charody to venture to Svalbard on our new Polar Class 6 ship, Hondius, and find out what makes our passengers love this indelible Arctic location so much. We at Oceanwide Expeditions encourage you to join us on one of these fantastic voyages, discovering for yourself how it feels to travel in one of Earth’s last great wildernesses. Until then, enjoy the experience in video form.
