Region: The Arctic
Destinations: Svalbard
Barentsøya is one of the islands in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. It is nearly half glaciated, is part of the Søraust-Svalbard Nature Reserve, and is entirely free of human inhabitants – though polar bears find the island quite appealing, visiting Barentsøya almost as often as the kittiwakes. Though Barentsøya is named after Dutch navigator Willem Barentsz, he in fact never set eyes on the island.
Discover the highest peaks, largest seabird colonies, and best places to spot polar bears along the eastern shores of Spitsbergen
