In July of 2004, we completed a trip to Svalbard (Norway), which took us to beyond 80 degrees N. latitude to explore the wonders of tundra flowers, and the animals of the far North. It’s an environment of stunning arctic beauty teaming with thousands of birds, walrus, reindeer, and of course polar bears. That’s why they call Svalbard “The Land of The Ice Bears.” We traveled with Lindblad Expeditions. They are no strangers to this part of the world and have been exploring here for nearly 30 years. We walked ashore under the guidance of life long and dedicated naturalists. Kayaks and Zodiacs allowed for intense exploration too. While all this was going on, Ham radio was alive and well on shore and aboard the National Geographic Endeavour too!

For a detailed narrative of this trip see “Ice Bears” under available or past trips or you may read a “published article” that appeared in DXMagazine.
