Svalbard is an archipelago of Norway located in the Arctic Ocean, approximately 650 miles (1,050 km) from the North Pole. It has a population of only about 2,900, and its main economic activities are scientific research and tourism. No visa is required for visitors.
Svalbard is one of the largest unspoiled, wild territories with rugged terrain, glaciers, and tundra. Approximately 65% of its land area is protected, with the aim of preserving its original natural state. Currently, the archipelago has 7 national parks and more than 15 bird sanctuaries.
