For select voyages, he assembles a line-up of local musicians whose performances bring the rich traditions of the far north to life.
“ Traveling in Svalbard is a kind of “lottery”—one rarely knows what will be behind the next corner. It might be a stunning view or a bucket-list animal, like walruses, an Arctic fox or maybe even a distant polar bear. The unpredictability creates a true expedition spirit, which makes Svalbard so exciting for both first-time visitors and seasoned guides like me.”
—KERSTIN LANGENBERGER, NATURALIST
SVALBARD & NORWAY
WITNESS THE WILD BEAUTY OF THE FAR NORTH
Few places showcase the drama of their creation like Norway, where a maze of rock and water cuts the coastline from tip to tail. Sail the country’s iconic fjords, or set your sights on Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago framed by snowy peaks and ice-checkered waters. On this icy frontier, polar bears outnumber people, and multiple types of whales are regularly spotted offshore.
For the Scenery Seeker: From the waterfall-laced fjords of the mainland to the snowscapes of Svalbard, Norway has some of the most stunning scenery in the far north.
For the Wildlife Lover: Svalbard’s snowy shores are as wild as the Serengeti. Set out on an Arctic safari to spot polar bears prowling the ice, walruses hauled out on shore and reindeer prancing across tundra.
For the Active Traveler: Kayak amid sparkling icebergs and soaring fjords, and hike sweeping glacial valleys and jagged granite peaks.
For the Photographer: With epic wildlife, stunning landscapes and endless light from the midnight sun, this is a dream destination for photographers. A National Geographic photographer joins every voyage to help you bring home your best photos.
When to Go: April–June
In spring, Svalbard is covered in ice and snow and bathed in astonishing light. The landscapes come alive in the summer, the best season for wildlife watching.

PHOTOGRAPHING SVALBARD WITH NICK COBBING
Drawn to the breathtaking Arctic landscapes, National Geographic Photographer Nick Cobbing has traveled to Svalbard nearly every summer since his first visit in 2005—often as an expert for National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions voyages. Here, he explores the photographic allure of this remote, high Arctic archipelago.
Taking photographs is an important part of the expedition experience because it helps you understand the landscape. What makes Svalbard an inspiring place for a photographer is the diversity. Ice and snow, glaciers, a very powerful ocean—there’s a lot to capture here.
With the Zodiacs, we can go ashore to photograph the tundra’s grasses, lichen and mosses. There’s also the beautiful purple saxifrage flower—a signature of Svalbard—that puts color into pictures.
Some subjects from my favorite images: Svalbard reindeer, which aren’t found anywhere else. Sometimes an Arctic fox might be curious about us. There is also abundant birdlife: kittiwakes, eider ducks and Arctic terns—beautiful birds that come here to feed and forage in the summer.
The glaciers and snow influence the scenery by reflecting light back up, so it seems to rise from the ocean with darker spaces in between. It creates a whole palette that we can incorporate into our photography.

ICELAND & THE FAROE ISLANDS
RICH CULTURES AND VOLCANIC LANDSCAPES
Iceland showcases the drama of our living Earth like nowhere else. In this land of geological treasures, the brightest gems are hidden in remote corners, where waterfalls flow through mossy canyons, glaciers tumble from mountaintops and fjords carve paths from the sea to timeless fishing villages. Let the Viking spirit guide you from these surreal shores to the Faroe Islands, where turf-roofed cottages and archaeology bring the legends of ancient seafarers to life.
For the Geologist: Located atop a geothermal hotspot and at the meeting point of two tectonic plates, Iceland’s landscapes were born of geological upheaval— you’ll see volcanoes, waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, lava fields and much more.
For the Culture Enthusiast: On remote shores, delve into rich Icelandic traditions, like eiderdown harvesting and herring fishing.
For the Wildlife Lover: Sea cliffs and shorelines are aflutter with a multitude of seabird species: kittiwakes, shearwaters, gannets and colorful puffins. Humpbacks, orcas and several other cetaceans swim offshore.
For the Active Traveler: There are a multitude of ways to interact with Iceland’s elemental landscapes, from hiking to waterfalls and volcanic craters to mountain biking into the backcountry and strolling black-sand beaches.

EXPLORING GREENLAND, REGION BY REGION
Greenland is a land of vast possibility, where the world’s second-largest ice sheet shapes landscapes as dramatic as they are diverse. From north to south, east to west and deep into its protected national park, each region reveals its own character awaiting discovery.
THE NORTH
The Greenland ice cap covers nearly 80 percent of the country, and it shapes much of its northerly landscapes. Here, small coastal communities live between extremes—months of polar night in winter, followed by the endless glow of summer’s midnight sun. Neighboring Baffin Bay, the gateway to the Northwest Passage, is one of the best places on Earth to spot the elusive narwhal.
THE EAST
At the heart of East Greenland lies Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system—a vast, secluded maze of icy channels and soaring cliffs that is yours to explore. Along its shores you’ll find Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most remote settlements on Earth, home to only a few hundred residents. A visit here offers a rare window into a distinctive Arctic culture grounded in myth, legend and resilience.
THE SOUTH
Southern Greenland is a land of contrasts, where green pastures and grazing sheep meet icy fjords and rugged peaks. A 1,000-year legacy of Norse and Inuit farming is preserved at the Kujataa UNESCO World Heritage site, with reconstructions of Erik the Red’s 10th-century homestead. The winding, mountain-backed channel of Prins Christian Sund carves one of the most dramatic passages in the Arctic.
THE WEST
Archaeology buffs will delight in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Aasivissuit–Nipisat, which preserves hunting grounds dating to 2500 BC; and Uummannaq, where the 15th-century Qilakitsoq mummies were unearthed. The famed Ilulissat Icefjord—also UNESCOlisted—holds one of the fastest-flowing glaciers on Earth. From the new Icefjord Centre or while cruising Disko Bay, you might spot whales surfacing amid the luminous icebergs.
NORTHEAST GREENLAND NATIONAL PARK
Northeast Greenland National Park is the world’s largest protected wilderness—vast enough to hold more than 100 Yellowstones. Its 375,000 square miles of sweeping tundra, snowy peaks and iceberg-filled fjords remain almost entirely untouched. In this remote sanctuary, herds of muskoxen graze the valleys, walruses crowd rocky shores and polar bears pace the ice floes.
