Subjects : Eternal glaciers, fjord, departure station Amundsen/Nobile, scientific village, Mount Zeppeling, the peaks "the three crowns", bears, reindeer, foxes, seals, snowy landscapes, tundra, moraines. The absence of vegetation makes these places very special, all the buildings are stilts to overcome the permafrost.

Recommended equipment : Classic setup, a stand is useful but not essential.

Best months : When it's sunny, from April to September, it never goes down. Cruises arrive throughout the summer. In autumn and winter it is not reachable, but it offers northern lights and snowy landscapes illuminated by the moon.

How to get there : Cruise. Some do the circumnavigation of Svalbard by Kayak but it is not exactly within everyone's reach. In this case, just get to Longyeabien on a scheduled flight and then contact a tour operator. There is one owned by an Italian, very good, https://www.poliarctici.com/it/home

Visits : Ny Alesund can only be visited by the public on a cruise. The village is a scientific base for the study of environmental science, visitors can walk around the village and ask for information from the staff in the scientific bases. There is an Italian base, it is called "Dirigibile Italia" of the CNR. The doors of each building are by law always open, never locked, the guys present at the base will welcome you very willingly. The turusti are usually left free to roam in the village and accompanied to the trellis from where the missions of conquest of the north pole, Admunsen and later Nobile, started.
