[From back cover] In the High Arctic, floating in the midnight sun and embraced by the Polar night, Svalbard - sometimes referred to as Spitzbergen - is an archipelago of peaked mountains and scouring glaciers. No other place in the far north offers such an abundance of polar features and wildlife in such a limited area. In words and pictures two naturalist guides lead you ashore to enjoy the flora and fauna of the tundra and the shores under the spectacular bird cliffs. From the ship’s deck, and from sea level perspective aboard inflatable rubber rafts, they share with you views of the stunning ice as well as close encounters with seals, walrus and the true Lord of the Arctic - the Polar bear. Apart from scenery and wildlife the book gives historical flash backs on discovery and impact, making it a an engaged, personal and comprehensive introduction to one of the true wilderness areas in the world.
