PRO KIT ICEBREAKER!
Chris says… Hiring an ice-rated ship to cruise the high Arctic waters north of Svalbard in search of polar bears is something that sounds exotic and out of the reach of most people. However, I have done just that three times now, hosting groups of no more than 16 photographers. The small vessel is very manoeuvrable and we can get to places bigger ships can’t access. Leaving Longyearbyen and heading towards the North Pole, we were 12 days without seeing another vessel on our perfect shooting platform. I describe this as a-once-in-a-lifetime adventure, but some guests have returned several times!
