The S/V Noorderlicht is a two-masted, ice reinforced, steel schooner built in Germany in 1910. It has served as a lighthouse in the Baltic, as a pilot station and as a club bar before being renovated and transformed into a sailing expedition ship.

It has also spent several winters iced-up in a Spitsbergen fjord serving as one of the most unique guesthouses on this planet.
