SPITSBERGEN EXPEDITIONS
ISFJORD KAYAK EXPEDITION (6 DAYS)
When the Inuit stepped into his qajaq, it was to hunt. The word’s original meaning was ‘man boat’ or ‘hunting boat’. Today however the word is not associated with hunting.

With its many inlets and seven mighty glacier fronts this is an alluring universe. The silence is overpowering, only broken by your paddle strokes and nature’s own sounds. A curious seal maybe, the noise of hatching sea birds or the amazing sound of glaciers cracking and calving. Dur- ing six days we visit a wide range of exciting destinations in the Isfjord area.
