    Icebreaker Bar Krasin

    With an interior designed like a Soviet icebreaker, the hotel bar specializes in different types of aquavit on the one hand, and drinks from the Soviet Arctic on the other. Traditionally on expeditions, pure alcohol was diluted to the same strength as the latitude and then drunk. Order a "78° latitude" to experience how strong the stuff was when they were around Barentsburg!
