The far Arctic has long been a pilgrimage destination for explorers and scientists alike. And, you can follow in their bow wake with this unique excursion, boarding an expedition boat to journey out from Longyearbyen to wild Deltaneset. This is where a team from Oslo’s Natural History Museum has uncovered three specimens of prehistoric reptiles – two plesiosaurs and one ichthyosaur. After a steep hike, your expert guide will demonstrate how best to find yourself very own fossil; if you do, you’ll be able to bring it home! You’ll also warm back up with hot drinks and an included lunch, while return accommodation transfers ensure an easy day.
