Svalbard is an archipelago of islands right in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, about half way between the coast of Norway and the North Pole. Svalbard is not the place to visit in winter as it’s dark most of the time but when spring rolls around it really comes into its own. Close to 24 hour daylight means riding is possible at any time, the fat maritime snow pack is generally quite stable and the mountains are epic and many of them un-ridden. Just keep an eye out for the Polar Bears.
