Private Snow Mobile Expedition Wrap Up Svalbard April 2026

Earlier today, I wrapped up a phenomenal five-day private snowmobile expedition up in Svalbard. This was an intensive five days covering more than 1000 kilometres of driving, with two visits to Monbukta on the East Coast, as well as a trip to Svea, Templefjorden, and the Russian settlement of Barentsburg.

The trip proved extremely fruitful, with a wonderful encounter with a polar bear on the frozen sea ice, as well as many encounters with Arctic foxes, Reindeer, and Ptarmigan. I will have a full trip report in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I have one day here tomorrow to catch up on some washing before we board our boat for our Wild Nature Photo Travel 9-day wildlife expedition in and around the archipelago!
