  • We are on Svalbard, a group of Norwegian islands in the arctic, and the best place to meet the king of the arctic, the polar bear. I have been before on Svalbard in 2017 and 2019, so it was time again for me to visit this arctic place in 2022. For this trip we joined Arctic Wildlife Tours and 8 other wildlife photographers from Italy, France and Sweden. We embarked the Swedish ship MS Malmö for this 10 days trip along the coast of Svalbard, searching for wildlife and landscapes. The day before we embarked we had bad weather and our departure from Longyearbyen was delayed by ca. 6 hours, but finally we are on our way further North.
    In this video we are going straight up to the North for around 15-16 hours to a place with a walrus colony.
    Phototrip to Svalbard Part II releases 31. July 2022.
    Do you like to visit Svalbard and meet the polar bear? I really can recommend Arctic Wildlife Tours. They provide with the best guides and know how to find wildlife and approach carefully without disturbance.

    Awesome Alfred! Too bad that bear has to wear that neck brace! I understand why, but it doesn't seem comfortable on him! Anyways, beautiful images man! 👌

    An encounter of a lifetime!! 😱 I even got goosebumps sitting here at home, so it must have been so special to actually sit there in a boat watching the two bears. You took very nice photos (of the walrusses, too of course). Greetings from Germany
