Sail past glaciers through Norway’s Arctic lit by the midnight sun to find a most mythic predator: the polar bear. This polar adventure is to the famed Svalbard Archipelago of northern Norway.

This region remains wild and pristine with its vast mountains, dramatic fjords, massive glaciers, and picturesque icebergs coupled with iconic Arctic wildlife. The primary mission of expedition leader and professional photographer Scott Davis is to share with you the raw beauty of the high arctic world and the unique wildlife that inhabits this region, and for those interested also provide you with skills and opportunities to produce quality images of unique Arctic wildlife and beautiful landscapes.
