At Russia’s North Pole camp, it’s not all fun and games
Temporary and remote, Ice Camp Barneo is the ultimate tourist destination. The same aspects make it a big draw for those looking to send political signals, too.
It sounds like an April Fool’s joke: For $22,130, you can spend two days in a tent, with no bathing facilities, no private accommodations and no choice of what you get to eat. Nor is there any power to charge up your devices, but, with no WiFi, there is little need to do so. What’s more, temperatures during your stay will be as low as minus 40 degrees.
