Don't miss out on the ultimate guide to exploring the Arctic
🗺️The Arctic, located north of 66º34'N, is a region where 60% is covered by the Arctic Ocean, and the rest is a snow-covered wilderness. The Arctic Circle encompasses Greenland, Northern Europe, Northern Russia 🇷🇺, and Northern Canada, spanning eight Arctic nations: Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia 🇷🇺, Canada, and the United States.

Compared to traveling to Antarctica, visiting the Arctic offers more options. As long as you step into the Arctic Circle in any of these countries, you can say you've been to the Arctic ✌️.
·
Generally, Arctic travel is divided into two main categories: cruise travel and land travel. Here's a brief introduction:
·
🚢 Arctic Cruise Travel:
⏰ Time: May to September each year
📝 Routes: Svalbard Archipelago, Greenland, Iceland, Northwest Passage, North Pole, etc.
🌟 Highlights: Arctic glaciers, icebergs, fjords, and wildlife such as polar bears, whales, Arctic foxes, musk oxen, and reindeer.
·
🏞 Arctic Land Travel:
⏰ Time: Year-round
📝 Routes and Highlights: The Arctic region is vast. Spring and summer are ideal for outdoor activities like road trips, hiking, boating, and fjord tours. In autumn and winter, you can chase the Northern Lights in popular spots like Finland, Norway, and Yellowknife in Canada. Winter also offers snow activities such as skiing, reindeer sledding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.
·
🔥 Besides these two main categories, there are also niche options:
