A journey to the northern ices is a truly exciting adventure that promises a great pastime and a lot of unforgettable emotions. One of the natural phenomena that you have to see with your own eyes are glacial waterfalls.
Despite the fact that the glaciers and ice caps are located in the immediate vicinity of the North Pole, it is not as cold there as many would think. The average air temperature is + 5 ° C in summer, and not lower than -15 ° C in winter. This climate is due to the impact of the Gulf Stream that washes the shores of Spitsbergen.

You can reach this place from Longyearbyen, then continue the journey by water.
