“Dear Explorers, it has been a delight to have you on board and discover the hidden secrets of Svalbard… ” So begins this stunningly artistic and powerful micro documentary by Secret Atlas.
More than a Svalbard vlog, this is a journal of a Secret Atlas Expedition Micro Cruise into the heart of the Arctic archipelago — voiced by the expedition leader as the voyage draws to a close. Twelve fellow explorers. Polar bears on the pack ice. The fjords of Hornsund. The walrus haul-outs of Nordaustlandet. The light of the midnight sun. It is the rhythm of a day on a Svalbard expedition. You arrive as a visitor. You leave as an ambassador for the Arctic.
Secret Atlas Expedition Micro Cruises explore the polar regions with the smallest group sizes available — twelve guests in the Arctic, thirty-six in Antarctica and South Georgia. This is nature unfiltered, undiluted, and met on its own terms. If you are considering travelling to Svalbard and beyond, go on a genuinely small ship cruise with Secret Atlas. View our Svalbard departures here and explore the wildest places on Earth at a scale that lets you actually see them.
