Although I am no fan of winter and cold so it attracts me to go north just to get something different. For example I have been to Iceland and I have been on a cruise in the Norwegian fjords and fascinated by the nature that are offered.
I have often longed to make a guest appearance on Svalbard or Greenland to look at polar bears, icebergs, whales and other things associated with these places. Perhaps it would be combined at some point with a study among Canadian Eskimos and possibly spending the night in an igloo with a polar bear trap that quilt? Does anyone know if this is feasible?
The problem with these trips to the north is that they are associated with high costs. A daily flights there, five days in Canada and a daily flight home. The same if you want to Svalbard. A cruise around one week where costs are at best 30 cardboard plus return flights.
Greenland Travel I’ve looked at is not entirely free. The cheapest you can get over a trip of ten days for the 25 cardboard but is actually flying.
So however much I may want to try such a trip, there is something inside me that says it is not worth it. Five days in Canada, or several months in Southeast Asia for the same cost. Based on that analysis, the choice is easy.
