Summer adventure at Basecamp Isfjord Radio

I gaze across the wild Arctic Sea, hoping for a whale tail... My backdrop is a massive, scenic mountain range. On the walk I just returned from arctic fox and stocky Svalbard reindeer roamed the tundra between the mountains and the coast. I kept a lookout for prowling polar bears, but as I was on foot, with only my guide and our trusty husky, Linka, I'm actually glad there were none around...
Price from NOK 5.230 per person (2-days)

There's still enough to see - the station here is surrounded by nesting eider ducks and barnacle geese, and the beaches and marshes teem with other birds. I really sense the history in the walls of this classic arctic outpost, and feel privileged to be in the midst of such spectacular nature!
We have 2- and 3-days trip and if you would like to experience more of the tranquility and wildlife of this true arctic outpost , we recommend an extra night at Isfjord Radio.
