Pyramiden, Pyramiden, set at the foot of a towering mountain, was founded in 1911 and named after its majestic surroundings. Coal production began in 1956, and by the 1970s-80s, it thrived as a model socialist town. Preserved since 1998, its Soviet-era infrastructure offers a rare glimpse into the past. Today, Pyramiden is a growing tourist destination, with renovated facilities like a hotel, restaurant, and cinema theater. The Nordenskiöld, part of the Lomonosov Plateau, is a formidable ice wall stretching approximately 25 km in length and 11 km in width. |

Should the guide determine that a participant is not suitably dressed or lacks the required fitness level, they have the authority to decide if that individual may not join the activity for safety reasons. Some parts of the trip can be challenging due to variable weather conditions, strong winds, cold temperatures, and rugged terrain without defined paths.

Weather in Svalbard can be highly unpredictable and can change rapidly, with potential for strong winds, snowstorms, dense fog, crevasses, or insufficient snow and ice. This may necessitate changes to the planned route, which could prevent us from reaching the intended destination. We may also need to alter the type of transportation or accommodation outlined in the itinerary. While we will do everything possible to provide a memorable Arctic experience, it's important to understand that these unique conditions are a natural part of this destination.
