Spitsbergen Island, Norway

Set in the Land of the Midnight Sun, this group of islands is almost entirely covered by glaciers, and nature tours offer once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The most awesome excursion is a hike to Waggonwaybreen glacier, where you may spot walrus or polar bears. Passengers can join tours to nesting areas of the Arctic tern or watch for other native birds.
