Spitsbergen – If you want to travel to this northwestern Scandinavian archipelago, where only two thousand people live, make sure to book your holiday at one of the above listed travel agencies. The eighty islands of Spitsbergen are very inhospitable and pure nature, and were discovered in 1596 by Willem Barentsz. Before that, he stranded on Nova Zembla, when he was looking for an alternative route to the Far East and gave the island group her name. The current Norwegian islands, of which Longyearbyen is the capital, are very popular with tourists because of the pristine nature and whales swimming in the ‘warmer’ waters just off the coast.
