Explore the polar night and visit the Basecamp huskies


Join us on a guided tour in the polar winter and experience the magical Arctic light. You will learn more about Svalbard’s fascinating history and meet our beautiful, four-legged colleagues at our charming Basecamp Trapper’s Station. This adventure is a rich experience for both young and old. An encounter with Arctic history, the magical polar night and not least our beautiful sled dogs. Our Trapper’s Station is a replica of old trappers’ stations and houses 80 Alaskan huskies trained for mushing. The station allows guests to see and feel how trappers lived in the wilderness hunting seals and reindeer. Buildings and the surroundings at the Trapper’s Station are designed to look like the original hunting communities in Spitsbergen. We light the fire and gather around the fireplace to keep warm as we enjoy the polar night and vast wilderness around us. We hear stories from a rich history Svalbard, of trappers, arctic wildlife, locals, mining and maybe some personal trips of your guide. We enjoy warm drinks and biscuits. From December to January, we might even get the opportunity to experience this amazing phenomenon, aurora borealis. We will also spend time snuggling our furry friends in the dog yard where our huskies will give you lots of hugs and kisses before it is time head back to Longyearbyen. Remember to bring you camera!
