Aríen Ramnefjell
GuideAríen has always felt a pull towards the high Arctic nature. Born in the dramaticly beautiful mountains of Norway, she could early on nurture her love and sense of belonging in nature.
In 2012 she moved to Svalbard where she licensed and educated herself to become a polar guide. Now, whether it is crossing Spitsbergen with skiis or pulka, kayaking in front of glaciers or leading expeditions on expedition ships, she does it with genuine passion and knowledge acquired from years in the field.
With her base in Svalbard, she has also worked in other polar regions such as Greenland, Canada, Alaska, Siberia, the North Pole, and Antarctica. But Svalbard touches a special spot in her heart and keeps her on her edge. The high Arctic archipelago with its changing weather conditions, seasons and wildlife stimulates her forever lasting hunger for adventures. Likewise when she guides guests over fjords, tundra and glaciers.

Svalbard
After a three-hour fantastic cruise with the Zodiacs, we returned to our ship M/S Sjøveien. Now we take the opportunity to enjoy a nice jacuzzi on the outer deck overlooking the Monaco Glacier. It is a unique experience to have a wood-fired hot tub in an environment without a single tree! It's not every day you can sit out on deck, have a drink and smell the fire from the stove while looking at the glacier fronts.
