We will set camp approx half way to Isfjord, where we have a nice warm meal in the tent after a long day with dogsledding. Accommodation in tent.
Day 2: Breakfast for animals and people before preparations are made for a new fairy-tale day with the dogs. The complete silence is only broken by the panting of the dogs and the scraping of the sled runners against the snow. Dogsled mushing on Svalbard is an experience that touches your soul.
