	Svalbard - World Tourism Info
		Svalbard is the northernmost tip of Europe and its settlements are the northernmost permanently inhabited spots on the planet.
		Svalbard is a popular staging point (at least in relative terms) for launching expeditions to the North Pole.
		Svalbard is by most measures horribly expensive: Norway is an expensive country to begin with, and Svalbard slaps on a steep surcharge for the distance.

	Svalbard
		With the 1925 Svalbard Act, Norway chose to make Svalbard a part of the Kingdom, and it remains one of five special entities whose status is recognized by international treaty in the world today.
		Svalbard was made a part of Norway by a Norwegian act in 1925, thus Svalbard is not a Norwegian dependency.
		Svalbard consists of a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean ranging from 76° to 81° North and 10° to 35° East, and forms the northern-most part of Norway and the northern-most lands of Europe.

	Svalbard Geology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Svalbard comprises all islands between latitude 74° North and latitude 81° North and between longitude 10° East and longitude 35° East.
		The oldest till deposits on Svalbard were probably deposited when Spitsbergen was situated close to the South Pole, some 600 million years (MY) ago, and the red Devonian sandstone of northern Spitsbergen was deposited when Svalbard was close to the Equator, some 350-400 MY ago.
		During the later part of the Cretaceous, Svalbard was subject to a tectonic uplift causing erosion and a hiatus in the sedimentary record.

		Svalbard [1] (Russian: Grumant) also known as Spitsbergen, is a group of islands between the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Greenland Sea, and the Norwegian Sea.
		Svalbard is the group of islands between the word "Pole" and Norway.
		However, in practice it's difficult to arrive in Svalbard without transiting through Norway, and as Norway considers Svalbard a domestic destination, you'll need to pass through Norwegian immigration first.

	THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF SVALBARD
		Glaciers cover about 60 percent of the area of Svalbard while the rest is underlain by continuous permafrost.
		The climatic conditions on Svalbard, the energy exchange at the ground surface, the ground thermal regime and the availability of water will be emphasised as essential factors controlling the distribution of glaciers, permafrost and periglacial landforms.
		Glacier mass balance, thermal structure and geomorphic activity of Svalbard glaciers will be covered, with emphasis on the interaction between glaciers and permafrost.

		The Svalbard islands are a Norwegian Arctic territory, lying at around 75° - 80°N. The largest island of the group is Spitsbergen, and that name is sometimes applied to the whole archipelago.
		If you want details of access and practical travel in Svalbard, you'd be better with Andreas Umbreit's Guide to Spitsbergen, and Vidar Hisdal's Geography of Svalbard gives a more detailed dissertation on the landforms and wildlife of the region.
		Others seem to have reproduced rather muddily: my memories of Svalbard are dominated by the brilliant, rhapsodic blues of ice and sky, and these are sometimes unfairly muted - but probably only a projected transparency would do them real justice.
