Introduction to St. Saviour's, Svalbard and Jan Mayen
St. Saviour's, Svalbard and Jan Mayen is a Norwegian Overseas Territory located within the Arctic Circle and consisting of the islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen. Svalbard, with its capital city of Longyearbyen, is one of the world's northernmost permanent settlements, and is known for its polar research and polar bear sanctuary. Jan Mayen, on the other hand, is a volcanic island with no permanent population and is mainly used for meteorological observations and military activities.
Location and Climate
Svalbard is situated at latitudes 74° to 81° N. The climate is cold and dry, with long polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. Jan Mayen Island is located between the Greenland Sea and the Norwegian Sea, with mountainous terrain and a harsh climate. Both are important sites for Arctic ecological research, with unique glacial and tundra landscapes.
Human and legal status
Svalbard is governed by the Treaty of Svalbard, which allows residents of the signatory countries to engage freely in economic activities here, but sovereignty is vested in Norway. The city of Longyear has about 2,000 inhabitants and is dominated by mining, tourism and scientific research. Jan Mayen Island is administered by the Norwegian military and has no civilian facilities. Both are gateways for exploring the Arctic, but there are strict environmental restrictions on visitors.
