7Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago
The Svalbard Archipelago, located in the Arctic Ocean, offers some of the most breathtaking icy landscapes on Earth. Svalbard’s glaciers, ice-covered fjords, and polar tundra create a stark but stunning environment. One of the most striking features is the expansive Brøgger Glacier, which flows from the mountains into the sea, forming dramatic ice formations. Visitors can embark on glacier hikes, dog sledding adventures, and boat tours to explore the archipelago’s icy wonders and spot Arctic wildlife like polar bears and reindeer.
