Weather and temperature — Expect rain and mild temperatures rather than freezing cold; bring quality rain gear.

Seeing specific wildlife like polar bears or penguins — Understand that penguins are in the southern hemisphere and polar bears are much further north/east.

Daylight length — Be prepared for very long days in the summer, with sun staying up until 10:00 PM.
