The fourth edition of this critically acclaimed guide introduces travellers to the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, the neighbouring Norwegian island of Jan Mayen, and the Russian Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land. Fully updated throughout, it is packed with essential information for cruise passengers, wilderness explorers, wildlife enthusiasts, northern lights watchers and adrenalin junkies coming to participate in the islands' extreme sports, which include climbing, hiking, trekking, skiing, riding and hunting. There's also comprehensive advice on how to prepare for travel in the high Arctic.
Andeas Umbreit is an acknowledged expert on Svalbard. He is a resident on Spitsbergen, works as a tour operator specialising in the Arctic and Antarctica, runs logistics for film and research expeditions and works as an expedition leader and lecturer on polar expedition cruises.
