Watch beluga whales in Svalbard, high in the Norwegian Arctic, where small white pods hug the coast beneath glaciers and towering peaks. Belugas live here year round but are easiest to see from June to September, once the sea ice clears and the midnight sun lights fjords such as Isfjorden. Spotted on day trips from Longyearbyen alongside other Arctic whales, they are a highlight of the polar summer, best from June to September.
