Hei!

A friend and I are looking to trip to Svalbard June 5-12 and we want to pack as much adventure stuff in as we can. We're both back country backpackers and are comfortable winter hiking and camping.

Any locals able to give us some pointers on travel in early June? Or neat things to do there? Expeditions to go on? We'll be arriving in Oslo on the 3rd and 4th, and leaving for Svalbard from there.

Takk :grin2:

Edit: i believe its illegal going around without weapons cause of the polar bear, if this is rented locally or easy to bring from another country i don't know.
please elaborate the weapons part? and any links would be highly appreciated.
