Perched at the edge of the blue glacier on the moraine shore of a faraway ice fjord, Nordenskiöld Lodge is as remote as it gets. In fact, it’s the farthest north you can travel to on the island of Spitsbergen by motorised vehicle. Following a stay in Svalbard’s largest town, Longyearbyen, you’ll begin four action-packed days of arctic adventure at Nordenskiöld, each one packed with exhilarating guided tours and excursions.
