You may have noticed an increase in the amount of people who travel to Arctic destinations lately. But none compare to Svalbard, the island next to the North Pole.

We've all noticed that some countries were more Instagramable than others in 2016, so I asked my favorite 'grammers what they thought those were!
An amazing Northern Lights show in Norway that's more than ten minutes long (but time-lapsed down to a minute), plus information on chasing them!
Chasing the Northern Lights in Norway isn't something you can just expect to happen on any given day. It's rare, and it's awesome, and totally worth the wait!
When I first decided to go to Norway on my own, one of the main things I knew I wanted to see was the Northern Lights, I just wasn’t exactly sure where you see them.
