| This is the perfect trip for explorers to encounter a small taste of life at the North Pole. With two nights in a tent and a few hours on skis every day, you will return with amazing memories of this unique landscape and the mesmerizing lighting effects of the ever-changing polar ocean. |
Experience the North Pole with heated tents, field beds, your own chef and bespoke guide - this is the ultimate exquisite experience. In between gourmet meals and drinks, we organise guided trips to take awe-inspiring memorable photos, capturing the grandeur of the location. |
The North Pole has it all with pressure ridges, open water, and a labyrinth of ice and snow that forms a magical scenery where the sun never sets. This is an adventure for the true explorer with the same equipment, food and polar routines as on a full crossing of the Polar Ocean. | With eight dogs, a huge sled and two highly experienced dog mushers, you will form part of a small team, route-finding your way through the maze and myriad of ways over this challenging and imposing ice-scape. Only a handful of people have crossed the polar ocean in this manner. |
