Ryan Kaempfe

From the rolling landscapes of Scotland, to the edges of the map. Ryan’s passion for the world’s wildest and most remote places eventually led him north, far north, to Svalbard.

Since arriving in Longyearbyen in 2023, Ryan has embraced everything the High Arctic has to offer. He thrives in the deep winter months, where true silence settles over the land and the wilderness feels limitless. For him, the Arctic isn’t just a workplace it’s a place where nature speaks in its own quiet, powerful way.

With an adventurous spirit and a deep respect for the environment, Ryan guides guests safely through the raw beauty of Svalbard, sharing the moments that make this place unlike anywhere else on Earth
