Svalbard and Jan Mayen is a Norwegian Overseas Territory located in the Arctic region, consisting of the islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. The territory is known for its unique polar environment, rich wildlife and scientific importance.
Located on the west coast of Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago, Mosku Harbor is one of the archipelago's main ports and settlements. Its geographical coordinates are around 78°N, deep inside the Arctic Circle, making it one of the northernmost permanent settlements in the world.
The landscape around the port of Moscou is typical of the Arctic tundra, with short, cool summers and long, harsh winters. With its spectacular glaciers, majestic mountains and unique polar ecosystem, it is an ideal location for observing polar animals such as polar bears, reindeer and walruses.
Historically, the Port of Moskau's economy was based on coal mining, but in recent years it has shifted towards scientific research and tourism. With its multinational polar research station, it is an important base for Arctic research and attracts adventure travelers to experience the polar landscape.
According to the Svalbard Treaty, the region enjoys a special international status, which gives citizens of the signatory countries the right to engage in economic activities on an equal footing. This unique regime has made the Port of Moscou a symbol of international cooperation and added a special character to its development.
