Basecamp Trapper's Station Spitzbergen, Svalbard
One of the attractions for visitors to Longyearbyen in Spitzbergen, part of the Svalbard Archipelago, is to visit the 90 Alaskan Huskies at the Basecamp Trapper's Station, a 15-minute drive out of town. Alaskan Huskies are not a pure dog breed, but instead are defined by their purpose – to be highly efficient sled dogs. They are the sled dog of choice – none of the pure Husky breed can match them for speed or endurance. The Huskies are chained to small individual kennels but are very friendly and very keen to work. In summer visitors can go carting or dryland mushing, in which a team of Huskies pulls a cart with wheels rather than sled runners along the gravel road towards town. The Basecamp Trapper's Station has accommodation for visitors as well as kennels for the 90 Alaskan Huskies.

Husky teams waiting to go dryland mushing - Basecamp Trapper's Station

In summer visitors can go carting or dryland mushing, in which a team of Huskies pulls a cart with wheels rather than sled runners along the gravel road towards town. The Huskies get very excited when the carts are hitched up for dryland mushing, leaping up and down in their harnesses in their eagerness to get going.

Longyearbyen Svalbard, North Pole, Norway
Spitsbergen
Spitsbergen is the largest and only permanently populated island of the Svalbard archipelago in northern Norway. Constituting the westernmost bulk of the archipelago, it borders the Arctic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the Greenland Sea. Spitsbergen covers an area of 39,044 km2, making it the largest island in Norway and the 36th-largest in the world. The administrative centre is Longyearbyen. Other settlements, in addition to research outposts, are the Russian mining community of Barentsburg, the research community of Ny-Ålesund, and the mining outpost of Sveagruva.
The island was first used as a whaling base in the 17th and 18th centuries, after which it was abandoned. Coal mining started at the end of the 19th century and several permanent communities were established. The Svalbard Treaty of 1920 recognized Norwegian sovereignty and established Svalbard as a free economic zone and a demilitarized zone.

Base Camp Maintenance, Svalbard

Around Svalbard in late summer
Walruses, bearded seal, reindeer, but no bears in August 2016, as the ice pack retreats from Svalbard's rugged coastline. Glaciers reach the sea everywhere, but particularly on the cold north and east coast. Old Pomer and Norwegian huts are dotted around the coastline, where trappers endured the long dark winters to collect the then fashionable pelts. Abandoned mines and mineral workings are testimony to the fortunes made and lost in these extreme islands. The journey is the more unusual anticlockwise journey. From Longyearbyern south to Bellsundet, with its beluga whale graveyard, to Hornsund, with the Hansbreen glacier snout and walruses in the bay. The journey is then north to Wahlbergøya, where walruses are hauled up on the beach. Further north are the Alkerfjellet cliffs and then the pack ice starts around Sjuøyane (Seven Islands) at 80°degrees north. In the north is the spectacular Monacobreen and its ice filled bay. Heading south is the Lilliehöökbreen with its vast ice front, then south again to Kongsfjord with its mine workings and the Ny Alesund research stations. Ny Alesund was a coal mining town and is the most northerly permanent settlement in the world. Alkhournet in Isfjord has a thriving reindeer population.
