Explore the remote landscapes of the rarely visited Franz Josef Land in search of wildlife.
In the far north of Russia is Franz Josef Land, one of the most remote and raw Arctic landscapes in the world.
Discovered less than 150 years ago, this icy realm is home to a variety of wildlife including walrus, Polar bears, seals, Arctic fox and Beluga whales.
This is an archipelago visited by few people, where the foreboding landscapes of the islands are dotted with relics from famous explorers of the past.
What makes this trip responsible?
We take extremely seriously our responsibility to minimise our impact on these pristine areas. Exodus is an Associate Member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and has agreed to abide by one of the tourism world's most conscientious codes of conduct. Our ship operators in Spitsbergen are also members of the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO), which covers operations in Spitsbergen.
However, perhaps the single most important thing any polar travel company can do, is educate their clients to travel sensitively and compassionately. Our expedition team on each ship takes this part of their role very seriously, and looks forward to explaining how everyone can play their part.
