I have just returned from leading a superb trip to Svalbard for the Travelling Naturalist circumnavigating Spitsbergen and enjoying wonderful arctic seascapes and wildlife. . . .here are a few examples of the fabulous wildlife we encountered. Thank you to my wonderful group for making it such a success and of course to the Oceanwide Expeditions staff who really made the trip. A full report will follow shortly as will a lot more pics!!
