North Pole Flight
The North Pole is extremely remote. But everywhere on the planet can be influenced by global politics including the North Pole. Due to the war in Ukraine the North Pole is currently not accessible through Svalbard, Norway only through Russia. We are available to answer your questions about the expedition and your options for getting there. Give us a call or send us a message.
Yes, it's possible to travel to the North Pole! We've been guiding flights to the North Pole for nearly 30 years and historically it has been one of our most popular North Pole tours. From the starting location of your expedition (contact us for details) you'll fly to the Barneo Icecamp, a drifting basecamp that will act as your home away from home while you are on the ice. "Camp Barneo" is one of the most unique basecamps in the world and the ideal base for this North Pole trip. After an orientation at Barneo you'll fly by helicopter to 90 degrees North - the Geographic North Pole. This 20-45 minute flight over the pack ice offers a glimpse into an environment that is rapidly changing. Ice extends as far as you can see in any direction. Pressure ridges and open water leads crisscross the frozen seascape. Upon landing at the North Pole you'll be able to explore the immediate area, take photos, meditate, celebrate, call home and bear witness to this remarkable place where the world literally comes together. It's beautiful and extreme, yet fragile and demanding of our respect and care. After spending time at the North Pole you'll return to the Barneo Basecamp for a night under the midnight sun in the comfort of heated tents. Then it's travel back to civilization and the end of the expedition.
