Svalbard at £240 rtn from London

It's time to tick the Polar Nights off your bucket list!

ICYMI, between October and February, the sun drops below the horizon in Svalbard, leaving the islands in almost complete darkness 24/7. Cool, eh?

The fact you could see the northern lights at any time is what really makes this season a winner for us. Yep, since it's dark pretty much all day, there's no need for late night drives searching for a glimpse of those dancing lights—this video was taken at midday!

And honestly, those greens and purples look a different kinda beautiful when you're underneath starry skies, high above the Arctic Circle...
