Spitzbergen
One of the most beautiful
polar lands : Svalbard is an archipelago half
way between the North Cape and the North Pole,
the largest island is Spitzbergen.It makes up
part of the most northerly lands with an exceptionally
mild climate for this latitude.
With Svalbard the nature
is surprising : whales, polar bears, seals, walrus
and reindeer and some dumbfounded nesting birds.
Summer is generous underneath the rays of the
midnight sun, the coasts are bursting into life
during the 4 months of June, July, August and
September. During this period the numerous glaciers
scatter the bays like strange silhouettes. |
