Arctic marine animals
Arctic marine animals is what we love to travel and spend time together with here in Arctic Wildlife Tours. Here on these blog pages you can read about the animals, seasons and journeys we have done in the Arctic. It is the founder, Svein`s, life project to do this. Arctic wildlife cruises Blog will give you insight in different topics about the Arctic and hopefully give you some answers you are searching for.
We all working in Arctic Wildlife Tours believe this kind of nature tourism is more good than bad for nature. We travel and enter habitats with wildlife, but we never shoot anything, we do not do mining, tranquilizing wildlife for research or any other activity which physically affect the wildlife. We avoid doing land excursions in respect for the danger of meeting a polar bear and potentially risking the polar bears safety. We believe by staying together with arctic marine animals we all will learn something which research or anything else could teach us.
