Low budget iceberg spoting-mission impossible?

Hi everybody out there!

I %26#39;m working on a plan to visit the arctic zone in order to get close to icebergs.

Some packages i see on the internet cost absolutely crazy... some thousands of euro for a few days...

Can you suggest ways to get there, in let%26#39;s say some kind of low budget terms?

Any reasonable (cost-wise) ideas to get to the iceberg area would be a big help.

i wish great trips

Many many thanks

Nikos,

I think your chances of seeing icebergs from Faroe (which isn%26#39;t in the Arctic) are just about zero. They don%26#39;t go that way.

For icebergs in Europe you need to head well north of Norway to Svalbard, otherwise cross the Atlantic to Greenland. Getting to and staying in those areas is not cheap.
