Glaciers, Svalbard, Norway |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Svalbard is an archipelago under Norwegian jurisdiction located in the Arctic Ocean between Norway and the North Pole. Icy mountains and large glaciers characterize the terrain of the islands. The area’s extreme climate discouraged settlement until coal mining, which began in the 1890s, made relocation to the frigid archipelago a lucrative enterprise. | ||||||
