Czech Arctic Research Station

The Czech Arctic Research Station comprises three components: Julius Payer House, Field Station Nostoc near Pyramiden, and the research vessel RV Clione.

Czech scientists established their first research presence in Spitsbergen during the 1980s, focusing on studies near Barentsburg and Pyramiden regions.

The station maintains connections with multiple universities across the Czech Republic and international institutions, advancing polar research through collaborative projects.

Researchers access the station via regular flights from Oslo to Longyearbyen, with transportation to Field Station Nostoc available through tourist ships to Pyramiden.

The station includes laboratories equipped for studies in glaciology, meteorology, biology, and geology, operating throughout the year in extreme Arctic conditions.
