About Arctic Tern Expeditions

Who we are

Welcome to Arctic Tern Expeditions, your gateway to the world's most awe-inspiring wild spaces. Founded by passionate polar expedition guides, our mission is to create profound, personal connections with nature's untouched frontiers—the rugged landscapes of Svalbard.

Our experience has taught us that true connection with nature comes when we take the time to immerse and engage deeply. We don't rush. We explore. At Arctic Tern Expeditions, we give you the space to discover these incredible places at your own pace, allowing them to leave a lasting impact just as they have on us.

We pride ourselves on our flexible approach, choosing the optimal locations each day without the constraints of large groups or fixed itineraries. Our goal is to experience the environment authentically and sustainably. To this end, we charter robust ships capable of navigating icy waters, ensuring we spend as much time as needed in the most impactful locations. Moreover, we are committed to environmental stewardship, actively removing plastic debris and other pollutants to preserve these pristine settings.

Our expeditions are enhanced by comprehensive educational programs, tailored to enrich your understanding and appreciation of the places we visit. We are dedicated to eco-conscious travel and believe that time is our most valuable asset.
