Polar bear in SpitsbergenSPITSBERGEN:
THE PACK ICE VOYAGE
Polar Bears & Wildlife of the High Arctic Floe Edge
June 29–July 10, 2014

Upon returning from our highly successful 2012 photo cruise to Spitsbergen, we immediately began planning a return trip in 2014! We've chartered the same 54-passenger ship to cruise the pack ice around Spitsbergen looking for polar bears, walruses, seals, reindeer, whales and seabirds. Spitsbergen simply cannot be topped for photographing polar bears and other arctic wildlife—as well as spectacular landscapes of glaciers, rugged coastal mountains and ice.

Join Joe Van Os, John Shaw, Darrell Gulin and Rinie van Meurs on this exclusive photo cruise to the Crown Jewel of the Arctic: Spitsbergen!

Brown Bears of Silver Salmon Creek, AK
A cozy private fly-in lodge is our base for a week of amazing brown bear photography amidst verdant tidal marshes and expansive tidal flats with serrate mountain backdrops. We encounter the bears—close up, on foot and at their eye level—as they forage, often with cubs in tow, across this fantastic unspoiled wilderness.
