Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen

Svalbard’s history can be felt throughout Basecamp Hotel in Longyearbyen. Each room has its own unique character and the hotel tells the story of traditional fishing life in the far north. Inviting, warm and welcoming – here we create a different and warm base for all your experiences on Svalbard, a unique hotel with lots of character and generous hospitality in the heart of Longyearbyen, within walking distance of everything.

Nordenskiöld Lodge is located by the water in the innermost part of Adolfbukta, close to the icy blue Nordenskiöldbreen glacier. This is the most northernly staffed lodge in the world, with no electricity or running water. We heat the rooms with wood, get drinking water from the glacier and offer amazing comfort with a wood-fired sauna, comfortable beds and endless amazing views of the ever-changing light across the glacier. This exclusive opportunity to live close to wildlife and with a hospitable host and guide lets you experience Svalbard at its wildest and most beautiful.
