A New Chapter for Svalbard2009.com: Expanding Arctic Adventures
After nearly 15 years since its inception, Svalbard2009.com is embarking on an exciting new journey that honors its remarkable origins while embracing fresh possibilities for Arctic exploration and discovery.
Honoring Our Foundation
This website was born from passion—the incredible journey that Daniele Imperi took to the Svalbard archipelago in 2009. What started as a personal travel diary quickly became something much more significant: a window into one of Earth’s most extraordinary and remote destinations. Daniele’s love for the Arctic, his stunning photography, and his detailed accounts of life among glaciers, polar bears, and endless daylight created a unique digital monument to the magic of Svalbard.
The original spirit of adventure, wonder, and deep respect for the Arctic environment that Daniele captured remains the beating heart of this website. His vision of sharing the raw beauty and profound experiences of Svalbard continues to inspire every aspect of our future content.
A Collaborative Evolution
We’re thrilled to announce that this new chapter represents not an ending, but an evolution. Daniele remains an integral part of Svalbard2009.com’s story. He will continue contributing his insights, responding to community discussions, and sharing his unparalleled knowledge of these remarkable islands. His expertise and passion remain invaluable resources for anyone seeking to understand the true essence of Svalbard.
Joining this journey is Supero Ltd, a web agency specializing in creating compelling digital content and experiences. Our role is to help expand the website’s reach and depth while maintaining the authentic voice that has made Svalbard2009.com special from the beginning.

Photography and Visual Storytelling: Continuing the tradition of stunning visual content that captures the otherworldly beauty of the Arctic landscape.
Maintaining Our Arctic Soul
As we expand our content offerings, we remain committed to the values that made the original site special: respect for the environment, appreciation for the challenges of Arctic life, and genuine enthusiasm for sharing knowledge about this remarkable place. We’re not becoming a commercial travel site—we’re evolving into a comprehensive resource that serves anyone with a genuine interest in Svalbard and Arctic regions.
Every article, photograph, and piece of information we share will be guided by the same wonder and respect that drove Daniele to create this site after his transformative journey in 2009.
