Barneo: The Northernmost Settlement in The Whole World! (88°11' N)

Camp Barneo (Russian: Лагерь Бaрнео) is a private Russian temporary ice base, established annually since 2002 on an ice floe relatively close to the North Pole, used largely for tourist excursion purposes.
The principal Ice Camp Barneo ever close North Pole was built up in 2002. Since that time, the camp has been remade starting with no outside help each year on account of the always floating Arctic ice. For instance, in 2007 Ice Camp Barneo was situated at around 89°31.5′N 30°27′W. Notwithstanding, northerly breezes caused the Ice Camp to float towards the southeast at a speed of 0.8 kilometers for every hour (0.5 mph).

The ice camp works under the support of the Russian Geographical Society and ordinarily goes on for the period of April.

Ice Camp Barneo ought not be mistaken for the successive Soviet/Russian "North Pole" floating ice stations built up by the Russian Academy of Sciences Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI).

From 2002 to 2017, the beginning and last purpose of all endeavors to Barneo has been Longyearbyen, the capital of the Svalbard archipelago of Norway. The town has vital offices including an air terminal, inns of various levels, eateries, a mail station, a bank, and a grocery store.

In 2016, after military activities by Chechen paratroopers on Barneo, Norway instituted a flight ban, which it later lifted. Therefore, the 2017 occasion was required to happen with a base in Russia. However in March 2017 an undertaking visit administrator was taking appointments for 2017 and 2018 with flights working out of Longyearbyen.
