Why you should experience the world’s most beautiful darkness on Svalbard

Arctic Silence

The polar night deepens the silence of the Arctic. With just one small town surrounded by vast wilderness, there’s hardly any noise at all. It’s one of the few places where you can truly experience complete silence, a rare and calming contrast to everyday life.

Northern lights – even at midday

The polar night offers rare opportunities to see the Northern Lights during both the day and night. Because of the continuous darkness, Svalbard is the only place on Earth where you can witness the aurora borealis in the middle of the day. The island’s dark, clear skies create perfect conditions for this spectacular display of green, pink and purple light dancing across the horizon.

Taste of the Arctic

You might not expect fine dining this far north, but Longyearbyen has plenty to offer. A dinner at the acclaimed Huset Restaurant is something to remember. Here, chefs combine local ingredients with modern techniques and storytelling to create a tasting menu that brings Svalbard’s flavours and stories to life.
