Tour Details
Your final destination is Mohnbukta, a bay where you can drive on the frozen sea —subject to safety conditions of the ice— along the magnificent blue ice-walls from the glacier-front while surrounded by trapped icebergs on the sea-ice. As you explore this harsh yet magnificent environment, keep an eye out for the East Coast’s most iconic resident—polar bears. We’ll make several stops to appreciate the views, take photos, and discuss the incredible nature and history of the region, before enjoying a warm lunch and snacks in the wilderness.
Please bring warm underwear. We will provide the rest of the necessary gear. Ensure you have a physical valid driver’s license if you wish to drive the snowmobile. Recommended contact lens instead of glasses if you need. Minimum age to participate is 12.
