Polar bears can be found all around the Arctic,
from Alaska to Canada, Greenland and Norway to
Russia. While many enterprising voyagers who love
Arctic and Greenland expeditions know about the
now-common polar bear watching   in Churchill,
Manitoba, some might want to investigate the
domain of the polar bear by Arctic cruise
travels. The Adventures of Spitsbergen The far
northern island archipelago of Spitsbergen,
otherwise called Svalbard, is found not too far
away from the north polar ice top and     has a
sizable population of polar bears.   Females bear
their young in the wintertime, and the islands
are a favorite place for bears to withdraw to in
the late spring when the pack ice retreats toward
the north.  Large quantities of other natural
life can be found in this region in late spring
walrus, seals and huge flocks of seabirds, for
example, guillemots, auklets and
kittiwakes. Spitsbergen, which is part of
Norway, has   been a noteworthy starting point
for North Pole explorations.  Historically
well-known personalities like Amundsen and Peary,
and numerous others lesser-known one made
Spitsbergen their base for courageous attempts to
reach   the Pole. The remains of a significant
number of these bases can be seen on Arctic
travels to Spitsbergen, as can the camps and
graves of numerous early whalers who were
navigating these waters as far back as the 1600s.

Why Travel To The Arctic? When you have
vacationed in warm climates the thought of a
journey to the Arctic conveys images of ice and
cool breezes. A cruise from Harwich to the
Faroes, Iceland and up the East Coast of
Greenland acquaints you with the colder climate
in simple stages since both Iceland and the
Faroes islands are in the warm Gulf Stream. The
Faroes may appear like a peaceful place on a fine
day, but the climate is eccentric. Outings may be
organized to visit the towns and animals. In the
Faroes, a van may transport you to the edge of
Torshavn where it is a short stroll to the
beautiful harbor.  You can take ships to the
distant islands   if   ocean conditions allow.
Strolling from the harbor you can see the tops of
houses secured with turf. This treatment, which
is also found in Norway, gives protection as the
grass retains the rain before it can enter the
rooftop material. A trip to Iceland often
includes a tour of the Golden Circle. You may
visit the nurseries in Hveragerdi where the hot
springs give the warmth adequate for a tropical
garden. Characteristics of Best Arctic Travels
Program Despite the fact that there are a couple
of bigger Arctic cruises visiting this territory,
the best Arctic travels to see polar bears and
different sights are by  small,   ships with an
ice-reinforced frame and an armada of zodiacs, or
inflatable water crafts, that can rapidly and
securely get advanced Arctic adventurers into
position when  wildlife is spotted. The zodiacs
small size allows for only 10 to 12 passengers
and is ideal for investigation of ice floes,
small bays and remote shorelines where natural
life flourishes.

The best cruise ships are limited to be around
100 travelers, a size that allows you to become
acquainted with your fellow Arctic adventurers
and easy access to staff and speakers. These ship
sizes also take into provide fast travel and
quick boarding of zodiacs when the opportunities
present themselves. How To Pick The Right Travel
Specialist? In picking an Arctic journey, ensure
your agent and expedition staff are experienced
and educated about the territory. The voyage
organization you pick ought to be able to help
you to pick through a lot of tour choices. Some
of the tours designed for picture takers, birders
or simply life viewing. Pick one that matches
your interests. On these Arctic travels,
activities arent physically difficult, yet for a
great experience, you ought to be healthy and
equipped for strolling the occasional few miles
over the tundra, and ready to get in and out of
the zodiacs. Many of the sights can be seen from
the deck of your ship or from the zodiacs, yet
investigating the noteworthy whaling stations and
to or close to the North Pole may require a bit
more effort. Since these travels are in the
Arctic spring and summer, you wont need to
stress over trekking ice fields in a furious
snowstorm! Temperatures will be in the upper
twenties to the sixties or seventies. However,
the climate is variable and a decent waterproof
parka and set of wind breakers will cover any
changes in climate. Rubber boots are usually
provided onboard, but you may bring waterproof
climbing boots to round out the footwear.
