From Longyearbyen, Svalbard fly over the historic gateway used by some of the Norths greatest explorers. Ice mantled mountains, mammoth glaciers, and bobbing icebergs stretch out beneath you. Mazes of pressure ridges and the occasional Polar bear draw you deeper into the heart of the Arctic.
Pitch your expedition tent at 89 degrees North. At the Barneo Ice Station youll witness the rich activity of a typical Russian drifting ice station. Share stories and experiences with other Polar explorers passing through before you strap on your skis, harness your dogs and head for the pole!

Sailing from Murmansk, our journey carries us across the Barents Sea and penetrates the remote world of the frozen Arctic Ocean, an ever changing panorama of wind-swept pack ice up to five meters thick, harboring immense pressure ridges, countless poles of rich turquoise, and occasional narrow open leads of deep sea green.
