Svalbard & Jan Mayen Islands Shorelines in Wijdefjorden

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Wijdefjorden is surrounded by wide, desolate shorelines where tundra, glaciers, and dark mountain ridges meet the cold Arctic sea. The immense scale and quietness of the fjord create a feeling of complete isolation, especially when low clouds and drifting ice move through the landscape.

Photography Tips

If there is interesting old remains around the area on the beach, patterns or color, search for them and make use of them as your foreground.

Travel Information
