Svalbard

As close to the North Pole as you can get

The archipelago Svalbard (also called Spitsbergen) is located in the Arctic Ocean between Norway and the North Pole. Svalbard is characterized by a unique wildlife, arctic ice landscapes and old mining towns. Did you know that in addition to the 3000 inhabitants, thousands of polar bears colonize the island? Longyearbyen is the capital and the administrative center. Although whaling and hunting were among the archipelago’s most important activities, sustainability is now promoted and nearly two-thirds of the island’s surface is protected and consists of nature reserves, national parks, bird sanctuaries and a plant protection area.
