“The base camp is packed with interior and exterior features. On the outside, there is a working conveyer belt, radar, and solar panels. The roof and walls open to reveal the interior areas, which include a lab, garage, and lounge area for the explorers to relax after a long... More day of exploring.”

There's just something indescribably cool about LEGO using their products to inspire the next generation of... More children to care about science and research.”

About City Arctic

Arctic is the LEGO City line for polar explorers, and it goes back to the Town Arctic sets of 2000. The City version has come in waves with a story each time. In 2014 the explorers set out across the ice from a base camp, with an icebreaker and a supply plane, and in 2018 they found a woolly mammoth frozen in the ice and moved it out with a crane and an air transport. From 2023 Arctic joined City's explorers, with a research ship, a submarine and a mobile lab for studying the sea and its animals, and the 2025 sets added an Arctic polar train. Polar bears and huskies turn up in most waves.

Arctic currently consists of 25 sets that as of now has run from 2014 to 2025. As of today, 60062 Arctic Icebreaker is the most valuable Arctic set with an estimated new/sealed value of $330.
Summary

Head out into the wilds and set up the hi-tech LEGO City Arctic Base Camp to explore the secrets of the ice! Set out on major expeditions with the snow scooter and husky sled team. Investigate the secrets of the ice with the powerful tracked exploration vehicle. Call for helicopter back-up and deploy the winch and net to carry large blocks of ice back to base.

Transfer the mysterious crystals into the laboratory on the conveyor belt and open the walls and roof of the lab for easy play. Help the scientist and research assistant analyze your findings with the 2 computers, microscope and other equipment. Then relax in a cozy corner of the garage and watch TV before lowering the door, driving out on the snow scooter and beginning another research mission. But beware - this is a dangerous place with extreme weather conditions and a polar bear lurking near the camp!
