Ships and Boats, Svalbard - 3 - Yachts


Svalbard is a popular place to sail for more adventurous yachtsmen, the Gulf Stream still has an effect this far north and keeps the western side of the island largely ice-free allowing small private yachts to venture much further north than they would otherwise be able.
