Meet Heine \u2013 our 24-year-old adventurer from Bergen, Norway. He first discovered Svalbard during his studies and is now in his final year of a bachelor\u2019s degree in Arctic Outdoor Guide. In August 2023, Heine made the bold move to Svalbard, immersing himself in the Arctic wilderness for a year before exploring Alaska. In February 2025, he returned to Spitsbergen and now works as a guide with us, while also serving as an activity leader in kayaking\u2014planning to spend his free time paddling through the summer waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe unique and majestic nature here\u2014with deep valleys, towering mountains, and an almost endless coastline\u2014is utterly fascinating. It\u2019s easy to catch the Svalbard bug that bites hard and leave you with a long lasting love for the habitat, culture and history at 78 degrees North. And the Arctic silence? That\u2019s something you absolutely must experience,\u201d Heine says with passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
