The time has come, and very shortly we are departing Longyearbyen on our Wild Nature Photo Travel ship-based expedition around the archipelago of Svalbard. Due to the easter break, there has been no ice chart update since the 1st of April (nearly a week ago). A new ice chart should be released by the Polar Institute around 16:00 today. As such, my plan is to head north to the pack ice edge, just outside the 12-mile nautical limit, in search of wildlife. We will be returning to Longyearbyen and disembarking on the 15th of April. For now, it is time to embark, get settled and steam north!
By popular demand, we have decided to offer another Svalbard Spring Light expedition in April next year. The expedition will run from the 7th to the 15th of April, 2027 and include nine nights / ten days. Early April is one of the very best times to visit Svalbard. At this time of year, the sun is still low in the sky, and the landscape is bathed in golden light. Full details are now on our website at www.jholko.com/workshops. Please get in touch to reserve your place.
