Well I hope you have the same good luck as we had. The weather was good and the wildlife exceeded my expectations - fingers crossed for you.

Great renderings of those beautiful landscapes. I love how in the 2nd shot you can barely tell what's ice, land, water or the reflection of the sky.

Thanks, I don't do many landscapes usually but the scenery was stunning.
The blue ice was a real surprise, it's older than the white. We were lucky to have quite a lot of clear weather. It's usually quite foggy and windy up there, even in June.

Travel - A selection of shots from Svalbard (Edited text)

Many thanks to dragonsdream for recommending this trip, it really was a cracker. These were from a 9 day trip cruising around the Svalbard archipelago aboard MS Quest. There were 53 guests on the boat, 3 Naturetrek guides, and 5 expedition team members. Photos are a mix of shots, taken from...
