<h2>Introduction</h2><p>It has been a couple years since we visited Svalbard for the first time and we have to say we fell in love with this place. We consider it almost&nbsp;our duty to show you this polar landscape, which enchanted us.Svalbard is an inhospitable place for&nbsp;explorers and adventurers. No wonder that polar legends like Admundsen, Nansen and others made their first attempts from bases in Longyearbyen. You will find really harsch and unforgiving nature here. But also fair to everybody, who cares about nature and honors its principles. With sufficient preparation it allows you to explore magnificent icebergs, polar plains and mountains carved by glaciers. Even though it is the northernmost&nbsp;habitat island, it\'s not ruled by man. The population of polar bears outnumbers us more than 2:1 and their presence is something we have to be cautious of all the time. If they are the overlords, then wind and cold have to be our guides accompanied by everlasting sun.</p><p>Our expedition will start at Linne cape - westermost part od&nbsp;Nordenskiöld Land. Here you can find what\'s&nbsp;left from the old radio station Isfjord radio. Nowadayes it serves as a hotel during the summer season and for us will be the last connection with civilization before we begin. Journey between isfjord radio and Longyearbyenwill&nbsp;take us several days&nbsp;on foot in various terrain. We will cross easy shore lands and wide valleys, but also mountain passes and peaks. River crossings are quite common and the unforgettable part is also crossing some distance on the glacier itself. Still not adveturous&nbsp;engouh? Did I mention we have&nbsp;to keep&nbsp;bear watches every night?</p><h2>Photos</h2><p>Authors: Jarka Metelka and Ondřej Švirák&nbsp;<br>[img]</p><iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-kAahi1p5PE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><h2>Difficulty 4</h2><p>[narocnost4]</p><h2>Safety</h2><p>Except&nbsp;for&nbsp;the harsh&nbsp;terrain and cold temperatures, the most objective danger are polar bears. This comes with a great deal of responsibility - Polar bears are one of the most endangered species in the world and we are crossing their territory. Their possible presence might change our plans a make us redirect our path. We will also keep regular bear watches and follow all rules defined by the governor of Svalbard.Our group will be equipped with an adequate number of rifles and flares. Every member of the expedition will be properly trained to use both. We will also carry satellite&nbsp;device Garmin inReach explorer with both side communication and tracking, so we don\'t&nbsp;lose emergency contacts.</p><p></p><h2></h2><p></p><h2>Climate</h2><p>August is definitely the warmest month of the year. Average temperatures are between 0-10°C. Even though it can reach sub-zero temperatures, the usual trend from last years are higher temperatures. During summer months sun never sets. You will probably encounter&nbsp;regular wind and wet terrain due to melted permafrost. Due to melting icebergs it might be difficult to cross rivers, but we will carry short rope for extra safety.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h2>Guide</h2><p>[pruvodce]<br></p><div><h2>Transport</h2><p>Flights from Oslo - Longyearbyen.
