Take a small ship cruise to the massive fjord of Hornsund, located just off the shore of Norway's Northern coast on the southern tip of the island of Spitsbergen and a part of the South Spitsbergen National Park. This fjord is known for the Polish Polar Station- a research station that's been open since 1957. There are a few grassy tundra points that draw local wildlife like reindeer, foxes, and sometimes polar bears depending on the season (this area is known for polar bear migrations). Additionally, from the comfort of your cruise prepare to look for whales, ice bergs, and giant mountainous glacial valleys. Consider cruising the Arctic on a small ship cruise to access smaller reefs, beaches, and have a more personalized attention with a superior ratio of crew to passengers.
