3 OVERVIEW What s included 3 / 8 ADVENTURE WEEK - 5 DAYS ADVENTURE AT NORDENSKIÖLD LODGE NOK PER PERSON DEPARTURE DATES Every Monday July- September MINIMUM & AGE LIMIT 4 persons & 15 years INCLUDED The price includes activities, equipment, accommodation, and meals according to the program. IN ADDITION Flights, airport shuttle, drinks with meals, accommodation in Longyearbyen, CO2 investment of NOK 250 SHARING MEMORIES On a lighter note please share your highlights, stories and photos via our our Facebook BasecampExplorer or via spitsbergen@basecampexplorer.com. NOTE In Spitsbergen, weather conditions can change quickly. We can meet heavy winds, snowstorms, thick fog, crevasses and lack of snow or ice. This means we might need to make changes to the planed route, and this might lead up us not arriving to the planned destination. It can also mean that we need to use a different transportation style or accommodation than what was described in the program. Boat safari to/from Nordenskiold Lodge can be both with open RIB-boat or larger closed boat.

4 ITINERARY Your journey begins here 4 / 8 DAY 1 Boat safari Nordenskiöld Lodge Warm sauna Day before: Meet the guide in the reception at 4 pm to go through program and equipment. The day starts early at 08 am, when the guide picks you up at your hotel. You will shortly go through the week s plan and route, before heading to the harbour and the boat to take you to Billefjorden and Nordenskiold Lodge. There is plenty of wildlife around the fjords at this time of the year, so we have good changes to see arctic birds, walruses, belugas or even the polar bear. Once at Nordenskiöld Lodge we will enjoy outdoor lunch and get familiar with the cabin and the surroundings. After lunch it is time to head out to the arctic nature and explore the beauty around us. Before the evening we will return to the cabin, prepare a delicious dinner and warm up a sauna. Dinner and accommodation in double room at Nordenskiöld Lodge DAY 2 Kayaking Blue glacier front Arctic wildlife We start the day with good breakfast and if the weather is good we can spend the morning to learn how to paddle a kayak. We have steady and reliable double kayaks at Basecamp Nordenskiöld so we all can paddle in pairs. Kayaking is a perfect way to get around in the Arctic and the very traditional way to explore the arctic shorelines. After the learning period we will set out for a daytrip to Brucebyen. We will paddle across the magnificent glacier front with ice bergs and Arctic wildlife. On the other side of the fjord lies Brucebyen. The small settlement consists of huts that where built 100 years ago by Scottish geologists. The guide will tell you fascinating stories from the history. After a long day on the

5 cold arctic sea, it is wonderful to relax in the sauna and afterwards enjoy a delicious dinner. 5 / 8 Dinner and accommodation in double room at Nordenskiöld Lodge DAY 3 Glacier hiking Blue ice Arctic silence Today we will head out to the majestic Nordenskiöld Glacier. After breakfast we go through the basic guidelines for glacier walking and climbing and the safety issues. Then we will explore the glacier crevasses just 300 meters away from the cabin. We spend the day on the glacier walking up and down in the glacier cracks and enjoying the shining glacier around us. We will eat expedition lunch on the way. In the evening we make a bonfire and enjoy the view over the fjord. Dinner and accommodation in double room at Nordenskiöld Lodge DAY 4 Hiking Arctic scenery Arctic flora Today we can put on our hiking boots and head out to the close by mountain peaks. We will explore the beautiful arctic land, glacier moraines and small flowers surviving in the harsh environment. We will reach one of the close by mountain peaks and enjoy expedition lunch on the way. We will return back to the cabin to warm up the sauna and prepare our dinner. Dinner and accommodation in double room at Nordenskiöld Lodge

6 6 / 8 DAY 5 Boat Safari Arctic Scenery After breakfast we have a chance for our last hike. We can have one last photo walk to the glacier front or hike to the moraine to take the last pictures of the wildlife and the shiny glacier. We will enjoy lunch at the cabin before returning to the civilization. We make a stop in Pyramiden on the way back to Longyearbyen and get to see the Russian settlement up close. The settlement was closesd down in 1998, but have opened again for visitors. It is a fascinating place to visit. We return to Longyearbyen by boat and arrive during the afternoon or early evening.

8 PRACTICAL INFORMATION Things to know before departure 8 / 8 NORDENSKIÖLD BASECAMP HOTEL CO2 INVESTMENT PASSPORT & VISA TO GET AROUND Nordenskiöld Lodge is the northernmost cabin for commercial trips on Svalbard. The cabin is located far away from any civilization and offers excellent possibilities for longer expeditions. With no running water or electricity Nordenskiöld is a true expedition lodge in the middle of the arctic, but with modern comfort. We use wood to heat up the cabin and get our drinking water from the melting glacier. There are 5 big bedrooms with fantastic arctic views, 11 comfortable beds, an indoor toilet and a traditional Finnish sauna. The cabin is modern and comfortable with big windows giving away to the mighty glacier. Laying in the glacier moraine the cabin is well hidden from any by- passer. This is a place where you can enjoy the arctic silence in peace. You can enjoy your breakfast while looking right over to the magnificent Nordenskiöld glacier or relax in the sunny terrace with warm coffee and watch polar bear hunt for seals on the sea ice. Basecamp Hotel is situated right in the heart of Longyearbyen, among restaurants, pubs, shops and the bank. It is absolutely Longyearbyen s most amazing hotel, decorated in traditional trapper s style with driftwood, sealskin, pictures and objects that illustrate the past and current trappers life in the Arctic. Despite its rusticity, Basecamp Hotel offers high quality accommodation with a unique style! As a part of Basecamp Spitsbergen s efforts to be climate neutral, there will be an additional climate investment charge of NOK 250 per guest. This is donated in its entirety to Basecamp Foundations forestry project in Masai Mara, Kenya. The trees bind CO2 and contribute to reducing the effects of emissions associated with our activities and your travel. For more information, please visit: Please remember that to travel to Svalbard all visitors need to go through the passport control. The identity of all travellers between Spitsbergen and the Norwegian mainland will be checked upon both arrival and departure. Please note that if you need a visa to arrive to Norway you will need another visa (double entry) to enter Norway again after your visit on Spitsbergen. In Longyearbyen city area, you can walk around on your own without polar bear protection. On both sides of the settlement there are polar bear signs marking the city border and reminding everyone to carry a rifle when entering the wilderness. Do not wander past those signs without an experienced guide and proper safety equipment. On all our trips, our guides will have the proper safety equipment including a rifle. We will take care of your safety; you can just relax and enjoy the adventure.
