Midway through the excursion, you will stop for a break in a scenic location. This is a great opportunity to cuddle with the dogs and take some photos. Hot tea or coffee and a delicious cinnamon roll will be served as you enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The guide will also share some insights about life in this remote Arctic town.
