Wildlife Rich Expedition

“Thanks so much for suggesting and organising our day trip to ishfjord radio The boat and crew were fab. The tour around a glacier was amazing. Then lunch at ishfjord radio was another adventure. On the way back we used the time to spot wildlife and saw a walrus and countless birds. Both the guides were amazing”
