Dogsledding, glaciers, boat cruise, polar bears, the Midnight Sun and the beautiful Northern Lights are highlights on your travel to Svalbard - and its good to know that proud trapping traditions are kept alive in the middle of Longyearbyen, the capital of Svalbard.

With driftwood from the beaches, old woodwork from Barentsburg, and slate and sealskins as building materials, we have created a comfortable and pleasant arctic hotel for those wishing to have their holiday experience of their lifetime at Spitsbergen, Svalbard ..... and its good to know that we are counteracting your CO2 emissons travelling to the Arctic by planting trees in Kenya.

Aasa Tallgaard utstilling

Velkommen til Fotoutstilling på Basecamp Isfjord Radio

Basecamp Spitsbergen – Norges mest innovative reiselivsbedrift! Basecamp Innovasjonen fortsetter: 23. juni åpner vi en Ny foto utstilling med Åsa Tallgård www.tallgard.com fra Stockholm. Tallgård er motefotograf for alle de store magasinene i Nord Europa. Modellene hennes kommer fra New York, Moskva eller Paris. Åsa bruker stor natur og historiske steder som basis for sin motefotografering. 11 bildeverk stilles ut på Svalbard og viser den Arktiske Naturen kombinert med tøffe og vakre utrykk gjennom mote med epokepreg. Utstillingen vil henge på Basecamp Isfjord Radio, Svalbard, i moderne men historiske omgivelser. Vi lager det innholdsrikt for den som besøker stasjonen og utfordrende i forhold til tradisjonene. Dette er også en salgsutstilling, og en del av inntektene vil gå til inntekt til fuglereservatet på Isfjord Radio – et reservat med internasjonal interesse i forhold til det biologiske mangfoldet i Arktis.
