About Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen

Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen runs guided expeditions in Svalbard by dog sled, snowmobile, boat, on foot and by ski, including northern lights and multi-day trekking trips. It also operates two remote outposts, Isfjord Radio Station and Nordenskiöld Lodge, and the Basecamp Hotel in Longyearbyen.

Its customers are travellers who book expeditions and stays at its lodges and hotel. Every journey includes a mandatory environmental contribution that supports long-term conservation in Svalbard.

The company was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Longyearbyen. Its website states that it has led expeditions in Svalbard since 1999. Its founder, Svein Wilhelmsen, began with safari camps in Kenya; those operations separated from the Svalbard business in 2021, and Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen now continues alongside 62°Nord.

Product: Guided Arctic expeditions (dog sled, snowmobile, boat, trekking) and lodge and hotel stays at Isfjord Radio Station, Nordenskiöld Lodge and Basecamp Hotel Longyearbyen.
