LEGO set 60195, Arctic Mobile Exploration Base, represents a mobile exploration base intended for an arctic setting. It belongs to the City theme, within the Arctic subtheme, and was released in 2018 with 786 pieces.
Arctic Mobile Exploration Base sits within the Arctic branch of LEGO City, a subtheme focused on expeditions, field work and cold weather exploration. Rather than depicting a fixed urban service or building, the set presents a mobile base, giving a City layout a clear research expedition setting.
The model contains 786 pieces and includes 6 minifigures. The listed figures are Arctic Explorer, Ushanka Hat, Orange Sunglasses, Arctic Explorer, Beanie Hat, Printed Goggles, Arctic Explorer, Hood, Printed Light Blue Goggles, Arctic Explorer, Climbing Gear, Arctic Explorer, Expedition Leader and Arctic Explorer, Dirt Bike Helmet, Snow Goggles, Woman. The names point to varied equipment and roles within the team.
The set is suited to story based play, especially for scenes involving an organized arctic mission. It can also be displayed as a thematic City Arctic centerpiece, since the mobile base concept ties the figures together around a common task. In a wider Arctic collection, it works as an operational hub rather than a standalone small scene.
