The place

Gravneset's 17th-century whaling cemetery (130+ graves) and Smeerenburg Dutch outpost ruins recall a bygone era of Arctic exploration.

Flora & fauna

Spot polar bears, walrus colonies, bearded seals, humpback and minke whales. Cliffs teem with guillemots, kittiwakes, puffins, and reindeer-grazed tundra bursts with Arctic flora.

When to go

June-September. The midnight sun never sets and melting snowfields reveal tundra color.
