North Pole Explorer

After meeting in Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, on the island of Spitsbergen (Norway), you will fly 2.5 hours by Antonov-74 aircraft to “Ice Station Borneo”. You will be escorted to your heated accommodation tents to select your bunk, followed by lunch in the dining tent. The afternoon is yours. Either relax in the hospitality of the station or head outside if you’re willing to brave the icy conditions! Dinner is followed by an evening of conversation and merriment. Meet explorers, guides, scientists and pilots from all over the world, each with their own tales of adventure.

The following day, after final preparations, we fly in the Mi-8 helicopter within 3-5km of the North Pole from where you will begin your ski trek across the Arctic ice. We have the whole afternoon to negotiate the terrain ahead, which may include pressure ridges, open water and drifting ice. Arriving at the North Pole after a few hours, we celebrate our achievement then set up the most northerly camp in the world. Spirits are high and there is much opportunity for a satellite call to family or friends, photography, building a snowman or looking for Santa!

The next day we are collected by chopper and return to Borneo where we celebrate our success with champagne and lunch in the mess tent. We board the Antonov-74 and return to civilisation. Price is for one person.
