点评:My husband and I joined a small group on a photography tour with See & Explore and were greatly pleased with the experience. Iver picked us up at our hotel then went to get the remaining people, after which we joined up with his colleague (may have been Oddgeir, I failed to note his name) who had collected a few more people. In all, 10 customers plus the two guides. We were driven outside town and did some fairly short hikes in a few places to view the wildlife. The guides were very knowledgeable and engaging and they really went out of their way to deliver the best experience for everyone. Wildlife is unpredictable, but they know the places where there’s a good chance of finding them. We had seen walruses, and very luckily polar bears, so we most wanted to see reindeer, Arctic fox and birds. We were not disappointed. The fox that Iver spotted was even feeding on a reindeer carcass, so we witnessed interesting behavior. He wasn’t very close but close enough for good viewing. We really hoped to see a Red-throated Diver, and they found one sitting on a nest. Its head was tucked in, so it wasn’t the best view, but satisfying nonetheless. We also spotted Little Auks, Arctic Terns, Barnacle Geese (they’re everywhere), Snow Buntings and nesting Eider Ducks with eggs and ducklings. In addition to wildlife viewing, we went to overlooks for beautiful scenery photos and saw the International Seed Vault. We had taken a couple of boat excursions, which were also terrific, and this tour rounded out our explorations perfectly.
翻译:我和丈夫参加了See & Explore的摄影之旅,体验非常愉快。Iver到酒店接我们,然后去接剩下的人,之后我们和他的同事(可能是Oddgeir,我忘了他的名字)汇合,他又带了几个人。总共10位顾客加上两位导游。我们被带到城外,在几个地方进行了短途徒步,观赏野生动物。导游们知识渊博,热情友好,他们竭尽全力为每个人提供最佳体验。野生动物的变化难以预测,但他们知道哪些地方更有可能找到它们。我们已经看到了海象,很幸运地还看到了北极熊,所以我们最想看的是驯鹿、北极狐和鸟类。我们并没有失望。Iver发现的那只狐狸甚至还在吃驯鹿的尸体,所以我们目睹了它有趣的行为。它离我们不是很近,但足够近,可以很好地观察。我们真心希望能看到红喉潜鸟,结果他们发现一只红喉潜鸟正栖息在鸟巢里。它把头缩了起来,虽然视野不太好,但仍然很满足。我们还看到了小海雀、北极燕鸥、白颊黑雁(它们随处可见)、雪鹀,以及正在筑巢的绒鸭,它们带着鸭蛋和鸭雏。除了观赏野生动物,我们还去观景台拍了美丽的风景照,还参观了国际种子库。我们之前也参加了几次乘船游览,体验也非常棒,这次旅行完美地结束了我们的探险之旅。
