It is somewhat surprising to discover that a remote and inhospitable region located within Norway's arctic territory is home to a population representing over 20 nations. But with the Domesday Clock currently set the closest it's ever been to midnight; it might be a relieve to know that the Svalbard Global Seed Vault serves as a repository guarding the planet's biodiversity with its priceless collection of flora species. Its existence highlights the fascinating and important research taking place here, as well as its amazing natural and cultural heritage. Tourists to this area are drawn to the spectacular aerial dance that alternates between the enigmatic northern lights in winter and the midnight sun of the arctic's summer season, as well as its unique wildlife which includes several species of whales, walruses, seals, arctic foxes, puffins, barnacle geese, reindeer and of course, the rock stars of the arctic, the polar bear. As a Facebook group, Hurtigruten Insiders represents the shipping company that offers a gateway to this important region for 130 years, a great place to visit, if you are planning an icy adventure amidst its glaciers or just curious.
