Franz Josef Land in 1 minute - Discover places you didn't even know existed

Nowhere in the Arctic is the heroism and drama of early polar exploration more plainly evident than in Franz Josef Land. This 192-island archipelago is notoriously inaccessible, but a small cruise ship with a fleet of Zodiacs enables you to discover the islands’ hidden treasures, such as historical remains of legendary expeditions, dramatic mountains and surreal geology.
For the few visitors who make the journey to these enigmatic islands of the Russian High Arctic, the sense of remoteness in place and time is an undeniable attraction. Even more compelling is the abundance of wildlife: this polar wilderness is home to polar bears, walrus, seabird colonies and the elusive bowhead whale.
Aboard m/v Sea Spirit, travelers are sure to be impressed with the size of the staterooms, thoughtful amenities throughout the ship, and fine cuisine. Poseidon Expeditions is the only operator offering direct sailing from Spitsbergen to Franz Josef Land, providing more time at the destination itself.

Nice bite-sized vid. I didn't feel like looking too deep into it. Next time though, I suggest not using white letters over arctic imagery.
