Introduction to Svalbard, Norway

Svalbard: Svalbard, located in northern Norway, is an island in the Arctic Circle with excellent scenery.

Tromso: Tromso is a city in northern Norway. Because of the warm current of the North Atlantic Ocean, it does not freeze in winter, so it is the center of fishing and seal catching in the Norwegian Arctic Ocean. This is the only place to go to Svalbard, and it was once a stop for Arctic exploration. The statue of Roald Amundsen still stands on the dock.

Warships: Norwegian Coast Guard warships docked at the Arctic Ocean terminal are used for breaking ice, escorting, cracking down on illegal seal hunting and rescue. It is said that the artillery on the ship has not really been used except for several years of maintenance exercises. These islands became the first and only demilitarized zone in the Arctic due to the Treaty of Spitsbergen of February 9, 1920/KLOC-0.

Ice caves: It is very dangerous to walk on glaciers, and ice caves and cracks are difficult to find. Guided by a tour guide, you can visit some caves.

Heart-shaped lake: Due to the warming climate, the ice covering Spitsbergen Island is slowly melting, and the ice left by the glacier during the shrinking process cuts a heart-shaped depression on the ground, which is the heart-shaped lake. The area of the lake is about 120 ft ×90 ft, which is full of rain, ice and snow, and it is quite romantic from a height.

Glacier: Most of the island is covered by glaciers, so it is very good to see the magnificent scenery here. In addition, due to global warming, we will also see the melting and collapse of glaciers.

Longyearbyen is the capital of Spitsbergen and the most populous city in the world, with a majority of Norwegians and Russians. It is also a famous campsite. Every spring and summer, many people come here to enjoy the beautiful aurora.

Shops: There are some shops selling Arctic animal specimens and furs in the commercial street of the city, which are very expensive.

Specimen: All animal specimens in the store are in kind and well preserved.

Folk houses: the colorful houses of residents are particularly eye-catching in a snowy world.

Svalbard Science Center: The modeling design of Svalbard Science Center is mainly based on straight lines and then curved surfaces, making the whole building more fashionable and scientific. The interior feels very warm, and using wood as the main material can better adjust the indoor temperature, which is beneficial to the staff for winter.

Barents Castle: Barents Castle is located at the exit of Glacier Bay, a Russian coal mining town. Since the 1930s, Russians have been mining here, evacuated during World War II and returned after the war. Today, it is still a veritable Russian city.

Central Square: The central square is the center of the town, with a bust of Lenin standing in the middle, which shows the position of this great revolutionary pioneer in the hearts of Russians.

School: The most beautiful building in town is the school. The exterior wall of the house is covered with beautiful pictures, such as smiling faces of teenagers, polar bears and reindeer, and the onion church in Moscow's Red Square.

Slogan: In front of an old building in the former Soviet Union, there was a big placard that read "We are proud coal miners" and was full of socialist flavor.

Polar bear family: Svalbard is located in the North Pole, so the polar bear is the most important animal here. Lucky tourists can even see the warm scene of mother bear and bear together.
