Expedition Overview

As soon as the sun is hidden under the horizon, Longyearbyen becomes a magical place often lit only by street-lamps, the northern lights and the moon which glitters in the snow. The atmosphere is completely unique, and as you experience this mystical darkness you will know you are a long way from the beaten track. With 24 hour darkness in January approximately every year, one can enjoy the show of aurora borealis almost the whole day
