BEYOND THE MAP

Welcome to

Basecamp

Discover Svalbard with Basecamp Explorer, where adventure meets Arctic wilderness. From glacier peaks to northern lights, we create extraordinary journeys.

The Spirit of Basecamp

A journey to Svalbard is an immersion into the raw, the real, and the endlessly beautiful. This extraordinary natural universe offers profound and intimate experiences, best savored where they truly belong— in the wilderness. Our unique outposts, Isfjord Radio and Nordenskiöld Lodge, serve as the perfect gateways to these adventurous encounters. Accessible only with us, these locations promise an experience like no other.
