Each year, more and more people are opting for an Arctic adventure and the island of Spitsbergen is where I went! It’s home to 2,500 inhabitants, who are outnumbered by 3,000 polar bears. Halfway between Norway and the North Pole, Spitsbergen is in the archipelago of Svalbard, and was originally a base for whalers in the 17th and 18th centuries. It home to one of the most dramatic landscapes I’ve ever seen. Enjoy the clip :)
