Arctic Summer Camping

DISCOVER AN ARCTIC PARADISE ON FOOT

Sleeping in Arctic Svalbard during the 'warmer' summer months offers a unqiue experience. With 24 hours daylight visitors to Svalbard at this time of year are in for something out of the ordinary.

Your accommodation is provided with top of the range Hilleberg expedition style tunnel tents. These are the very same tents used during the winter months here on Svalbard and offer exceptional protection against the elements. The Hilleberg Keron 4GT have roomy porch entrances allowing plenty of space for cooking, gear storage and relaxing and a sleeping area for 4 adults.

General Arctic Summer conditions
 
In spite of Spitsbergen’s northern location, the archipelago has a relatively mild climate compared to other areas on the same latitude. In summer, the average temperature in Longyearbyen is approximately 5 ° C. There is normally very little rain, although it is not unusual that there is fog and low clouds. Even if there is little rain, the ground is often wet due to the melting snow.
 
Cold wind is usual even during the summer season. The weather on Svalbard changes quickly and local variations can be huge, as a result it is better to have a good selection of clothing with you.
