INCREDIBLE SVALBARD
Located deep in the cold North, above the Arctic Circle, Svalbard is one of the northernmost inhabited areas of the world. Featuring majestic glaciers, polar bears, gorgeous mountains and 24 hours of sunlight come summertime (as well as vice versa come wintertime), it is a remarkable destination that we're happy to be able to offer.
Mysterious Barentsburg
Barentsburg, founded in 1920, is a mining settlement that to this day remains operational. It is a fantastic opportunity to capture images of both run-down, Soviet architecture as well as state-of-the-art mining equipment set against the jawdropping backdrops of the fjords with their majestic mountains reaching into the heavens.

Explore the legendary town of longyearbyen
Longyearbyen was founded in 1907 by its namesake, mining company owner John Munro Longyear, and is to this day operational, the northernmost settlement in the world with more than a thousand inhabitants.
The northern location has led to several unique laws, one of which renders it impossible to be buried there, as the permafrost doesn’t allow for the bodies being reclaimed by the earth. A truly spectacular place to visit!

DIscover the Soviet mining settlement pyramiden
Pyramiden was founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to the Soviet Union in 1927. It lies at the foot of the Billefjorden on the island of Spitsbergen and is named after the pyramid-shaped mountain with the same name adjacent to the town.
In 1998, the settlement lost its last remaining inhabitant, thus rendering it a ghost town. This is a marvelous place to capture Soviet architecture and a Northern settlement fixed in time
