yes there is lots of ice in the sea, but not so much on land - particularly in the summer. It is just gorgous from a landscape perspective - huge mountains, lakes, meadows and not crowded at all. Most of the civilization is along the coast and kind of clustered, once you get out you are truly alone. Not many roads and just nature. I imagine it to be fantastic. No city-lights, just the stars. If you drive far enough to the north you can see the northern lights. And I so want to see the icebergs.

I do gravitate to the nature type vacation rather than poolside at the hotel in or close to a city.
