Svalbard: Jagged Peaks of Spitzbergen
All three Slovenian expeditions (2005, 2006, and 2007) led by Slovenian filmmaker Gregor Kresal had to face major logistical difficulties. Violent storms and temperatures in the region of minus 40 degree Celsius are not uncommon in the Polar circle. The steep walls of the largest island of Svalbard - Spitsbergen call for a completely different climbing approach from that required in the Alps. And don't forget to watch out for polar bears.
