Summer in Svalbard is short but intense. Bathed in 24-hour daylight, the landscape shifts dramatically — glaciers glow blue, valleys open for exploration, and wildlife thrives along the coastlines. The midnight sun transforms the Arctic into a world where time stretches, inviting endless adventure.

This is the season of life in Svalbard. Bird cliffs bustle with activity, walruses haul out on remote beaches, and Arctic foxes roam the tundra. With the sea ice retreating, you can explore rich coastal ecosystems by boat and witness nature at its most active.

Ice-free fjords reveal hidden corners of the archipelago — places only accessible during summer. Here, history lives on in abandoned trapper stations and old mining settlements, each telling a story of exploration and resilience in the high Arctic.

Whether by foot or by boat, summer offers countless ways to discover Svalbard’s untouched wilderness. From quiet coastal hikes to deep fjord journeys, this is the ideal season to connect with the raw beauty of the region in a more intimate, slower-paced way.
