#Svalbard

The African jungle has the lion, the Arctic has the polar bear. This fierce yet cuddly-looking creature dominates the icy wilderness at the top of the food chain. If visitors are lucky, they'll come across the polar bear on a cruise to Svalbard. Check out these facts about polar bears - the king of the ice!

Since its inception, HX has been a proud member of AECO, helping shape more sustainable, responsible tourism in the Arctic.

HX Expeditions is a participant in the Norwegian Polar Institute’s project to register marine mammals in the Arctic. Gathering this data improves insight of habitat use and seasonal migration patterns and is also used in The Environmental Monitoring of Svalbard.

Beneath the stillness of Svalbard’s fjords lies a living soundscape. Discover the project that’s capturing the echoes of expedition cruising beneath the surface.
