Spitsbergen

A Brief Description

Spitsbergen is like the Arctic, in Norway of course. This isolated place is a perfect vacation for many. For those who want a vacation filled with no disturbances, this is the perfect place. With less human residents than polar bears, this spot is a much needed peace and quiet. The clean, white sonw is blinding as sunlight reflects off of it. When you step outside, you can imagine that you are the only one in this world. There is no dirty snow, because there is no else near you to make it dirty. There may not be lots of humans, but there is plenty of wildlife. There are polar bears, walruses, seals, seabirds, whales, and more. Nature also shows itself in the form of auroras or the northern lights. This isolated place of nature shows nature at its purest.
