If you want to experience the Arctic summer, July is the perfect time to visit Svalbard. The midnight sun shines high in the sky, seabird cliffs are teeming with life, whales are often spotted in the waters, and the vast tundra invites you to unforgettable hikes. The ice has often retreated by then, making it possible to explore further east in the archipelago. Below, you'll find a selection of photos from some of this year’s July voyages.
Please note: Depending on the lens used for a photo or video shot an animal may appear to be closer than it is. We always follow strict wildlife guidelines to ensure that we do not cause any disturbance.
