Longyearbyen is the main settlement on Svalbard, far north of the Norwegian mainland, and ships dock or tender at the harbor a short ride from the small town. Because of polar bears, all outings beyond town are guided; options include boat trips to glacier fronts and the abandoned Russian mining settlement of Pyramiden, kayaking, fossil hunting hikes and dog sledding.
