Location: Svalbard, Spitsbergen, Norway, Arctic
Published: Cruising World
During the summer of 2015, I sailed for 112 days aboard a 37-foot-long fiberglass sailboat to the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. We were one woman (me!) and four main, from Norway, USA, Germany and Russia. We kept polar bears at bay, went scuba diving in the pack ice and flew paragliders where nobody ever has. It was epic!
