Expec­ta­ti­ons are natu­ral­ly high when you spend 18 days tra­vel­ling Spits­ber­gen, but what the­se 18 days altog­e­ther had to offer excee­ded most, if not all, expec­ta­ti­ons.

History of Spitsbergen

Wil­liam Edward Par­ry Not all expe­di­ti­ons which went to Spits­ber­gen during the 19 cen­tu­ry, were focu­sed on sci­en­ti­fic explo­ra­ti­on of the arc­tic. Becau­se of its posi­ti­on near the pole and its rela­tively good acces­si­bi­li­ty for ships due to the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, Spits­ber­gen was used many times as a base for attempts to reach the pole. In 1827, the Eng­lish­man Wil­liam Edward Par­ry went with his crew a… Con­ti­nue rea­ding

For years alre­a­dy, the­re has been a dis­cus­sion about a new ener­gy sup­p­ly for Lon­gye­ar­by­en. The old coal power plant should have been repla­ced years ago, pre­fer­a­b­ly with a more envi­ron­men­tal­ly fri­end­ly and relia­ble ener­gy source. A wide ran­ge of pos­si­ble solu­ti­ons has been dis­cus­sed over the years. Final­ly, a decis­i­on is now been made.
