Region
Arctic and Svalbard
The long northward passage to the ice edge.
The route north from the Baltic to Svalbard crosses three climate zones in a single voyage, from temperate coast to open Arctic water.
Landfalls are few and deliberate: Bear Island, the fjords of Spitsbergen, and the settlements at Ny-Ålesund and Longyearbyen.
