I visited Svalbard in July and since then I'm yearning almost every day to go back! I really want to go in March. It's just such a magical place with a special atmosphere and interesting people.
NO. from mid April to Mid August there is midnight sun in Longyearbyen / Svalbard, that means 24 hours sun, so it is very hard to see any aurora on the daylight sky.
wow, that was pretty.....spectacular ! no seriously, a wonderful video full of mystery, beauty. Its almost hard to believe there are actually places like this on Earth. It looked like a some kind of a clip from a sci-fi film taking place on a distant planet far, far away from ours ...... wow, an amazing video........... !
Lets say, I have my own engine for electricity, and my own foodsupply. I just build a house in the middle of nowhere without having to ask about it? Just bring the material and just build whatever I want, wherever I want? Even though its all up to me to manage by myself. No taxes? No license for anything?
Well. Atleast I think the norwegian government knows more about it than for example the greeks. So what does it mean, free zone? What are the limits of a free zone?
Oh my. And are you okay with that? My personal opinion is that Norway should close Svalbard, and have it for private use only, or atleast give the rights out more carefully.
well every country who signed the contract (as I have read) is allowed to build in Svalbard, before it was more russians then norwegians in Svalbard, it has decreased though
What countries signed the contract? I don't know how things are over there. But I would feel very suspicious towards the Russians =) I really don't trust them. Nor do I trust the Americans who are building the seedsvault. But what do I know.

We need to do everything we can to protect what beauty is left in the world... I am afraid that what is left is dwindling fast.

I'm really glad Svalbard belongs to Norway, and not to Russia. It's such a beautiful island.

I dont remember, but it is possible to check on wikipedia if you want to know.
The russians have invested a lot now on projects in Svalbard this year, so I expect a lot more russians moving there
