Snowboarding Svalbard: Norwegian Ghost Towns in the Arctic Circle

Snowboarding Svalbard: Norwegian Ghost Towns in the Arctic Circle

Posted by: Amanda Monthei / added: 06.18.2012 / Back to What Up

Filming in the northernmost island of Norway, near the North Pole and in places that few people have ever experienced, riders Marco Smolla, Andre Kuhlmann and friends tackle Arctic temperatures, midnight sun and the perpetual fear of polar bears, all while living in tents and traveling by snowmobiles. Then they ride mountains that have barely been touched by humans, and it's all okay again.
