Svalbard is an Arctic archipelago of several islands, a Norwegian province located between the Barents Sea, the Greenland Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Situated almost at the North Pole, it is an extremely difficult area to inhabit, attracting only those who have been affected by the so-called polar fever. The most populated island is Spitsbergen, located in the northern part of the archipelago.

This icy land is a unique place on earth where life goes on in a completely different way and in extremely different conditions. What is astonishing is the fact that there are almost the same number of polar bears as people, so when going outside the settlement, you must have a weapon with you. In addition to bears, in Svalbard we can also meet Svalbard reindeer, Arctic foxes, as well as seals and walruses lounging on the coast. Dolphins, killer whales, sperm whales and fin whales also appear in the area.
