Svalbard Travel Guide: 385 reviews and 1,007 photos

How it happened?

This travel I had because of participation in the international seminar for Nordic journalists where I hold a lecture about oil development in the North-West of Russia. I'd like to express my real gratitude to the organisators of the event as everything was so fine and unforgetable!!! Svalbard remains the most northern situated point which I have ever visited.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Very interesting for tourists who like noman nature
Cons:Not for visiting during dark winter "Polar nights"
In a nutshell:You obviously won't forget this island

Last visit to Svalbard: Jun 2002
