Rulers of the wind

Coincidences and close-up nature-based experiences await us in the Isfjord, which is an arena for the wildlife in Svalbard. As the warm ocean currents merge with the cold freshwater from the glaciers, a favourable climate is created, which provides nutrition for plants and animals alike.

Surrounded by the sea as a natural pantry, you may become acquainted with the rulers of the wind, including the northern fulmar, black-legged kittiwake and puffin gliding along the water line. We stop near the glacier to try to catch a glimpse of the wildlife on the ice floes and in surrounding area, while enjoying a meal and listening to storytelling from the guide. The Isfjord is full of active and spectacular glaciers. Which glacier we visit varies from day to day. Our guide will evaluate the weather and conditions and choose the destination that will give you the best experience.

Wildlife is never guaranteed, but nevertheless, walruses are often seen in the same places in summer, and in Borebukta they are often observed in water and on land. We don’t go on land on our walrus safari but from the boat we have good opportunities to observe the curious sea mammals.
