Located in the Arctic Ocean between Norway and the North Pole, Spitsbergen is the largest and only populated island of the Svalbard archipelago.
This remote outpost is a nature lover’s paradise, boasting an array of Arctic flora and fauna. The island is home to reindeer, Arctic foxes, walruses, whales and thriving seabird colonies, as well as polar bears, which actually outnumber humans here.
Spitsbergen’s main settlement and administrative seat, Longyearbyen (population: 2,500), offers visitors countless unforgettable adventures in Svalbard.
