Which animals are in the Arctic?


The Arctic is known for its cold winters and cool summers, with long periods of sunlight or darkness and cold, snow-covered areas.
This habitat is preferred by animals that have adapted to these conditions such as the Arctic fox, reindeer, several species of whales, Arctic wolf, polar bear, and brown bear, among other fascinating creatures.

It’s even cooler if you catch the fish yourself.
Try your fishing luck on one of our boat tours and fishing trips. The skipper will cook and serve the catch of the day (when possible) on board the boat.
It can’t get fresher and more delicious than that!
