The Polar Certificate – proof of your Arctic adventure!

The Polar Certificate has become extremely popular, and is practically a must for anyone travelling north. It’s a physical proof that you’ve actually been north of the Arctic Circle, and a cool souvenir to take home.

Whether you’ve chased the northern lights, experienced the midnight sun, or travelled far to explore our unique nature and culture, the certificate offers a fun and tangible way to document your journey.

It’s more than just a tourist gimmick – it marks that you’ve crossed a geographical and cultural boundary and been part of an experience many dream of. The certificate has become a collector’s item for travellers of all ages.

The Polar Certificate is also a great conversation starter for sharing stories from Tromsø and everything you’ve experienced here – from dog sledding and whale safaris to vibrant cultural life and excellent food.

It was developed by Visit Tromsø-Region and is sold at our visitor centres at Storgata 83 and Prostneset Harbour Terminal.
