Svalbard is a remote archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean, north of the Arctic Circle. Known for its dramatic landscapes, it is dominated by glaciers, snowfields, rugged mountains, and vast tundra. Nearly 60% of the area is covered by ice, creating a unique environment shaped by extreme seasonal variations. During summer, the midnight sun, bathes the islands in continuous daylight, while winter brings polar darkness. Despite its harsh climate, Svalbard hosts diverse wildlife, including polar bears, Arctic foxes, and seabirds, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and researchers alike.
