We start in June from the Lofoten Islands, where fjord waters warm up to 12°C and tidal currents reach their yearly peak. ↓ By August, when the fast ice retreats in Svalbard, we'll explore the archipelago's fjords with their unique freshwater lenses formed by melting glaciers over the seawater. ↓ The season ends in East Greenland waters, where the cold current carries icebergs from Jakobshavn - the Northern Hemisphere's largest glacier - while August twilight brings the first glimpses of the aurora borealis.
