Ny Alesund, Spitsbergen - NORWAY
A short documentary of my 4 hour visit to Ny Alesund, Spitsbergen on 13 June 2014.
The Northernmost Town in the World: Ny-Ålesund - SPITSBERGEN/SVALBARD
Ny-Ålesund is a research town on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard (Norway). It is the northernmost inhabited place on Earth with an around the year population of only 30-35.
Getting in as a traveler is tricky as you need permission to do so from the town itself. My friend William (Electrician of the town) invited me to come see him there and he is the one who showed me around and took me out of town on a cabin trip I will never forget. Nature around the town is unique, impressive and very inspiring. I could not keep my camera off for more than 5 minutes and captured many hundreds of shots that I edited into this video!

Visit the Arctic Research base in Ny-Ålesund, Norway | PolarQuest2018
Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago to the east of Greenland in the Arctic Ocean, is home to one of the northernmost settlements in the world: Ny-Ålesund. The town itself is essentially the “largest laboratory for modern Arctic research” – consisting of labs and stations operated by eleven countries, it brings together researchers from across the globe, and from different polar research disciplines.
PolarQuest's Paola Catapano takes you on a tour of this incredible location.

A North Pole JOURNEY to Ny ALESUND - Norway and La Valse des Monstres
I had travelled to Ny Alesund, Norway in 2013 and there was an extremely unforgetable journey which completely changed my mind about how beautiful the nature could be.
This is an INCREDIBLE Place In NORWAY and North Pole area where you won't believe it actually exist. You need to see this place to believe the beautiful siiiiiiiiiiiiightseeings are real!!
And as i was and always, wandering around closely to the nature with Yann Tiersen's accordion music is never go wrong.
By the way, from its majestic mountains and famous fjords to its modern yet picturesque cities, Norway is simply one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Picture-perfect landscapes beg to be explored by foot, car, bike or boat. Whether taking in the breathtaking wonder of the northern lights or the summer sun glistening on a massive glacier, Norway is a great adventure in any season.
Thanks for watching and please wait for another Norge travel version which coming soon.

SPITZBERG 2016 : Ny Alesund
Ny Ålesund est la localité située au point le plus septentrional au monde, au Spitzberg, une bourgade de maximum 150 habitants lorsque les équipes de chercheurs sont présentes, la population locale est bien plus restreinte... Nous y faisons escale lors de notre croisière sur le M/S Astoria

Landing Ny-Ålesund Airport, Hamnerabben (ENAS), Svalbard
August 24, 2012. Landing RWY 12 inbound from Svalbard Airport, Longyear (LYR/ENSB) on Lufttransport's LN-LTS Dornier 228 NG. This is as far as I know the world's fourth northernmost permanent landing strip. Alert (YLT/CYLT), Eureka (YEU/CYEU) and Nagurskoye (UODN) are further north.

NY Alesund
Ny-Ålesund (New Ålesund) is one of the four permanent settlements on the island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago. It is located on the Brøgger peninsula at Kongsfjorden. Like the rest of Svalbard, Ny-Ålesund is administered by the Kingdom of Norway.
Ny-Ålesund is one of the world's northernmost settlements at 78°55′N 11°56′E, and is the world's northernmost functional public settlement.
Today, it is inhabited by a permanent population of approximately 30-35 persons. All of them work for one of the research stations — e.g. the Norwegian Polar Institute — or the logistics and supply company Kings Bay AS, which 'owns' and runs the research village. In the summer the activity in Ny-Ålesund is greatly increased with up to 120 researchers, technicians, and field assistants. At present, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, France, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea and China all maintain research stations at Ny-Ålesund, although not all are inhabited year-round.
Ny-Ålesund is home to the new Arctic Marine Laboratory (the northernmost in the world), which was officially opened on 1 June 2005. With many open rooms and wet and dry lab spaces alike, the marine lab is particularly useful for countries which do not maintain permanent research stations in the area.
There are weekly flights between Ny-Ålesund and Longyearbyen for transport of scientists and other personnel. On ship cruises, Ny-Ålesund is a typical shore break. However, this tourism may cause interference with the sensitive scientific devices in the settlement, so tourists are closely observed. Visitors are supplied with a local map and are required not to stray off the marked path — a round-trip of about one km from the pier. A number of storyboards are placed strategically to explain the history and purpose of the various buildings; many are research establishments. There is one shop, a tiny museum and small post office, the northernmost in the world. In summer Arctic terns nest on the ground alongside the path and may dive-bomb visitors who get too near.
Also in this area, to protect the local VLBI antenna, there is a 20 kilometre exclusion zone for devices transmitting between 2.1 and 2.5 GHz. This includes bluetooth, WLAN, and other wireless devices.[1] The settlement is served by the airport Ny-Ålesund Airport, Hamnerabben. Near Ny-Ålesund there has been since 1997 SvalRak, a launch site for sounding rockets.
