Svalbard, Norway: The Tourist Haven

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

If you are one of those rare travelers who are willing to go to the edges of the earth just to discover places that few tourists have dared to trek, consider traveling north…way north. At the northernmost tip of Europe is a collection of islands (technically) governed by Norway where one can experience life in the Arctic.

Svalbard is one of the most spectacular places imaginable, having a bit of access from the North Pole as well as vast icebergs and floes that choke the seas. Despite the barren-looking Arctic desert that prevails throughout Svalbard, it is home to an abundance of polar animals from Arctic foxes, whales, seals, walruses, squat Svalbard reindeer, and polar bears.

Today I went to Plattsburgh to shop for groceries, and a few necessary household items. The weather was overcast and drizzling rain. Here are views along I-87.

I do hope that the foliage isn’t past peak next weekend when I travel to Blue Mt. Lake. I would love to get some brilliant photos to share with you. Stay tuned….
