Svalbard and Jan Mayen: Norway's Arctic Overseas Territories

Svalbard and Jan Mayen are two overseas territories of the Kingdom of Norway, located in the Arctic where the Arctic Ocean meets the North Atlantic. Svalbard's main island, Spitsbergen, is the only area in the Arctic Circle where non-Norwegian citizens are allowed to settle freely, and is home to settlements such as the Doomsday Seed Vault, a global seed bank, and the city of Longyearbyen, which is renowned for its glaciers, polar wildlife, and extreme day and night. Jan Mayen, on the other hand, is an active volcanic island with a cold climate, a Norwegian weather station and a navigation station, and a small scientific and logistical staff in the sole settlement of Oerlenkindbain. Both are under Norwegian sovereignty and are of great scientific and strategic value as key areas for the study of polar climate and ecology.
