Walrusses are great to see on the ice, in the water or on the beach. Here you can see quite a few of them sunbathing at Kapp Lee (Svalbard archipelago). Impressive animals!

This is a view from Faksevågen (Lomfjord) on the island of Spitsbergen (Svalbard archipelago). It was storming like crazy, but you don't say because the sky is actually quite clear. Down in the fjord you can see our ship, the Aleksey Maryshev which is no longer used for tourist purposes.

This is the first polar bear I ever saw in the wild. The bear was walking on one of the Andøyane islands, in Svalbard archipelago (Spitsbergen). I know the video is of rather lousy quality.

Icelovers attention! This is a video of the famous Monacoglacier in the Liefdefjord (the fjord of love). It is situated in the north of Spitsbergen, Svalbard archipelago.
