Barneo - the gate to the North Pole

Now it's again April and it means that flights to Barneo, the ice base beside the North Pole, are starting. The easiest way to reach the North Pole is through Barneo. And on the way to Barneo you need to have at least a stop-by in Longyearbyen. Our town is getting full of tourists again...

Pictures are from last year.

Welcome to Barneo!
The Ice camp. It's made of tents.


Sleeping facilities are actually pretty comfortable. A travel bed and a sleeping bag in a heated tent.

An easier way to reach the pole point: A helicopter lift.
If you need to go, then you need to go, no choices.
