LEGO City 60036 Arctic Base Camp

LEGO set 60036, Arctic Base Camp, depicts a polar research camp in the City theme, within the Arctic subtheme. Released in 2014, it contains 733 pieces and presents a team of explorers working from a field base.

Arctic Base Camp belongs to the Arctic branch of LEGO City, a setting focused on exploration, research and operations in a polar environment. Rather than presenting only a single vehicle or short action scene, the set provides a base location that can anchor a wider City Arctic display.

These names identify a mixed expedition crew, including explorers, a pilot and a scientist, giving the model a practical field research context.

For display, the set works as a central camp for an Arctic area in a City collection. Among City Arctic sets, it is best understood as a base oriented model, useful for connecting smaller equipment or vehicle focused builds into one expedition setting.
