Svalbard
Svalbard I høyArktis, midt mellom Nordpolen og Norge ligger øygruppen Svalbard, Polarlandet, Dette unike området strekker seg fra 74°til 81 grader Nord. Med sin storslåtte natur har landskapet likevel en majestetisk ro og romslighet i sin fremtoning. Årstidene er skarpe, med polarmørke-mørketid på vinteren, og lyst døgnet rundt med midnattsol på sommeren. Mellom disse periodene er det skumringslyset med sin unike vakre blåtone som setter preg på landskapet på Svalbard. De største øyene som Svalbard består av er øya Spitsbergen, Edgeøya, barentsøya og Nordaustlandet. Svalbard har et karrig arktisk miljø, men samtidig er det frodig, storslagent, rått, barkst og idyllisk.
