        Hornsund is a beautiful, large fjord located at the southern tip of Spitsbergen Island in Svalbard, famous for its dramatic scenery of sharp mountain peaks and massive glaciers that drop blue icebergs directly into the sea. The fjord is a fantastic place to see Arctic wildlife, allowing visitors exploring by boat to frequently spot polar bears, seals resting on floating ice, and thousands of nesting seabirds on the cliffs. It also has a long history, starting as a base for whale hunters in the 1600s, and it now houses a permanent Polish research station where scientists study climate change.

        Examine Historic Trapper Cabins

        Bellsund is a massive, 20 kilometer long fjord system on the southwestern coast of Spitsbergen in Norway's remote Svalbard archipelago. Named after the bell shaped mountains that frame its entrance, this dramatic Arctic sound is a popular stop for expedition cruises due to its jaw dropping scenery, rich wildlife, and deep historical roots. Visitors can hike across surprisingly lush green tundra fertilized by massive bird cliffs, spot Svalbard reindeer, arctic foxes, and pods of beluga whales, or explore historic shoreline sites featuring abandoned coal mining cabins and old whaling remnants. Because no roads reach this isolated wilderness, it remains an pristine paradise accessible only by sea.

Sailed to Antarctica Nov 2016. Also previously to Svalbard in 2011. Were excellent expedition voyages. Staff / expedition leaders were brilliant. All zodiac Cruising was executed professionally even though were some breakdowns on both voyages. Cabins, small and basic, especially if sharing, but clean and had everything needed. Food was good with plenty of choice.
