Camp Barneo (Russian: Лагерь Бaрнео) is a private temporary tourist resort located on Arctic Ocean ice near the North Pole. When it is occupied for a few weeks in April, it is the northernmost inhabited place in the world. It was first established in 2002 and re-occupied annually thereafter, but it has remained vacant since 2018.[1]
When operating, the price for a visit starts at about $20,000.[2] It is owned by the Swedish pharmaceutical billionaire Frederik Paulsen, heir to the Ferring Pharmaceuticals fortune.[3]
