I'm not sure exactly why I am so fascinated by the polar regions. Maybe it's the beauty of the mountains, snow, fjords, glaciers and icebergs. Having flown over/near the arctic circle a number of times on my way home from Europe, I always wondered what these islands below looked like at sea level. It could also be the allure of the polar bears.
I'm not alone in having an interest in the arctic, seeing how tourism to the region has really grown over the past several years. One area that has been attracting a lot of interest these days is Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago located about 800 miles south of the Arctic circle, and more specifically, the island of Spitsbergen.
