Overnight in an ice cave

Strap on your snowshoes and get ready to leave the artificial lights from Svalbard behind and trek off into the arctic wilderness under the magic light from the Polar night sky.

Polar bears roam the area, so setting up camp is not an option.

A tunnel in the snow leads to your home for the night. Yep, that’s right, into an ice cave.

Entering the cave feels like you’ve been transported to an arctic wonderland. It’s a hidden underground world with halls, narrow passages, and icicles that hang from the roof.

There are usual bubble formations that are formed by the ice. Strangely enough, they feel plastic and dry to the touch.

After dinner, crawl into your sleeping bag and experience spending the night inside the belly of a glacier.
