Fifty-two departures whose real product is distance: how far the vehicle will go to find clear sky
This is the largest single category on the site, and the one where the listings look most alike. Nearly all of them say the same four things: small group, expert local guide, thermal suit, free photos. Almost none of that is what separates them.
What separates them is range and the willingness to use it. Tromsø is on the coast, the coast makes cloud, and the answer to cloud is kilometres. Read these listings for the numbers that describe movement — how many hours, how many kilometres, whether a passport is required — and the field sorts itself out quickly.
