Ny-Ålesund: dogyard

There is a whole couple of „roads“ meeting here at the western exit of Ny-Ålesund. The road to the west goes to the airfield and to the geodetic station at Brandalspynten. The one to the southwest is to the freshwater lake, the way to the south leads you around Ny-Ålesund and further into Kongsfjord. Most tourists will not go any of these ways, but continue with their walk within the settlement. In case you continue further and away from the settlement, you are in polar bear country from here on – take your precautions.

There is a dogyard next to this crossroad, where some locals keep polar dogs for private use.
