Away from light pollution, we'll scan the sky for the magical Northern Lights. We'll traverse vast valleys until we reach a stunning frozen waterfall. Here, sheltered from the elements, we'll enjoy warm drinks while lying back to watch the sky. Our guide will share fascinating stories about Svalbard and the enchanting Aurora.
