Svalbard and Jan Mayen: Norway's Arctic overseas territories
Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Norway's two overseas territories, are located in the Arctic region and have a unique polar ecology and strategic position. Svalbard is situated in the Arctic Ocean, with the largest settlement on the main island, Spitsbergen, in the city of Langel, where the Svalbard Treaty is in force, allowing equal economic activity for all citizens, and where the global seed bank is located. Jan Mayen, a volcanic island with no permanent residents and only a Norwegian weather station and radio communication facilities, is a key node for Arctic scientific research and navigation because of its geographic importance. With their cold climates, long polar nights in winter and short polar days in summer, and predominantly glacial and tundra landscapes, the two islands are important bases for research on climate change and polar biodiversity, and are attractive for polar exploration and research tourism.
