Basecamp Explorer works in partnership with Polar Bears International, a global non-profit dedicated to the conservation of polar bears and the Arctic environment. Through this collaboration, we ensure that our operations, guide training, and guest experiences are informed by the latest scientific knowledge. In addition, every guest joining one of our expeditions contributes a CO₂ fee that goes directly to support the work of Polar Bears International.

“We are thrilled to be working with Polar Bears International to inspire travellers and the global community to take meaningful action for the Arctic. Our shared commitment to education and conservation ensures that every guest who visits Svalbard not only experiences its incredible wildlife but also becomes an ambassador for its protection.” says Birgitte T. Vegsund, Destination Manager, Basecamp Explorer Spitsbergen.

Vårt partnerskap med PBI støtter en ansvarlig tilnærming til reiser i Arktis. Guidene får opplæring i vitenskapelig basert kunnskap om isbjørnens atferd, sesongmessige bevegelser og habitatfølsomhet. Dette hjelper oss med å minimere forstyrrelser og samtidig maksimere forståelsen og respekten for dyrelivet.

For gjestene våre betyr dette en ansvarlig reise styrt av kunnskap, respekt og bevissthet - vi tilbyr meningsfulle arktiske opplevelser samtidig som vi bidrar til å beskytte et av verdens mest sårbare økosystemer.

In collaboration with Polar Bears International, Basecamp Explorer invites a small group of donors and explorers to join an exclusive summer expedition to Svalbard, next to the North Pole.

For ten days, you will explore Svalbard by both land and sea, combining remote wilderness stays with an expedition cruise along glaciers, fjords and Arctic coastlines.
