Favourite time of year to visit Svalbard
"Late February. This is the 'blue light' season, in which the sun begins to return (increasing as much as 1 hour per day!), which brings a day-long 'golden hour' off the blue-lit snow."
A 'MUST' whilst you're there?
Must pack items for Svalbard

@dyl.shaw's Top Tips
"Consider what you want to see: Winter = northern lights and dogsledding. Summer = polar bear sightings and water-based tours. The seasons dictate all!"
