Day 2 MONDAY (B, L, D)
After a healthy breakfast at your accommodation,
you will meet your new travel companions, the
polar huskies. We will go through safety and
routines, and you will get to know the dogs.
After
lunch we will start our expedition. We will head
for the enormous snowmobile free area South-east
of our kennel. This first day we take the time
to get familiar with the dogs and the equipment.
We’ll
travel through the scenic valleys Bolterdalen
and Tverrdalen to reach the wide Reindalen where
we
will spend the first night. Arriving at the
camp, all of us will participate in establishing
the camp and
feeding the dogs. After a nice dinner and an
unforgettable day filled with impressions, we’ll
go to
sleep in our sleeping bags with the dogs around
the camp, watching for polar bears.
Day 3 TUESDAY (B, L,
D)
After a good night’s sleep we start to prepare
for the day. We enjoy a solid breakfast before
we take down the camp. We will travel in this
magnificent and quiet landscape like the early
polar explorers did. Through the valleys
Reindalen and Lundstrømdalen towards the
thrilling East coast. The feeling of freedom
will soon overwhelm you. We’ll find a nice
campsite for the night, and you will find that
you already now are getting hand of some of the
routines.
Day 4, 5 & 6 WED / THU / FRI (B, L, D)
On the East coast we have good chances of seeing
ringed seals sunbathing on the sea ice. If we
are lucky, we might also see the King of the
Arctic, the polar bear, walking around on the
pack ice,
looking for seals to hunt. From the East coast
we’ll travel across huge glaciers, through wide
valleys and pass magnificent mountain scenery.
In the afternoon/early evening of day 5 we will
arrive back at our kennel and you’ll be welcomed
by the howling dogs that have stayed in the
kennel while we have been on our expedition.
It’s hard to say goodbye to your new four-legged
friends. We will bring you to your accommodation
where a nice hot shower and maybe a warm
sauna is waiting for you.
Please note that due to changes in weather
conditions, arrival time at the kennel might be
on day 6.
