How To Visit Svalbard
- - I had an enormous amount of B-roll footage of Svalbard that I couldn't use, and the internet had a lot of questions about how to get there. Time to solve both those problems in one go!

Took a trip on the Spitsbergen Express with Bjornar and Magnus from Spitsbergen Guide Service. It was the trip of a lifetime.
Spitsbergen
Spitsbergen is the largest and only permanently populated island of the Svalbard archipelago in northern Norway. Constituting the westernmost bulk of the archipelago, it borders the Arctic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the Greenland Sea. Spitsbergen covers an area of 39,044 km2, making it the largest island in Norway and the 36th-largest in the world. The administrative centre is Longyearbyen. Other settlements, in addition to research outposts, are the Russian mining community of Barentsburg, the research community of Ny-Ålesund, and the mining outpost of Sveagruva.
The island was first used as a whaling base in the 17th and 18th centuries, after which it was abandoned. Coal mining started at the end of the 19th century and several permanent communities were established. The Svalbard Treaty of 1920 recognized Norwegian sovereignty and established Svalbard as a free economic zone and a demilitarized zone.

Svalbard
Svalbard (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈsʋɑ(ː)lbɑːɾ]; formerly known by its Dutch name Spitsbergen), is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Situated north of mainland Europe, it is about midway between continental Norway and the North Pole. The group of islands range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The largest island is Spitsbergen, followed by Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya.
Administratively, the archipelago is not part of any Norwegian county, but rather forms an unincorporated area administered by a state-appointed governor. Since 2002, Svalbard's main settlement, Longyearbyen, has had an elected local government, somewhat similar to mainland municipalities. Other settlements include the Russian mining community of Barentsburg, the research station of Ny-Ålesund, and the mining outpost of Sveagruva. Svalbard is the northernmost place in the world with a permanent population.

NORWAY: RUSSIANS MIGRATE TO SPITSBERGEN ISLAND IN SEARCH OF WORK
Russian/Nat
Russia's recent economic problems are forcing its people ever further afield in the search for a better life.
One of the most remote destinations is the Spitsbergen archipelago, a string of islands 1000 kilometres (600 miles), where the migrants find work coal mining.
But life is hard for the Russian communities, a recent fire which killed 23 miners is just the latest in a string of tragedies to hit the islanders.
The Spitsbergen archipelago was discovered more than 300 years ago.
But a harsh climate, where temperatures never rise above 10 degrees Celsius even in summer, prevented people from settling here for centuries.
Until 1920 no country even bothered to claim this bleak island in the Arctic.
But when it was discovered it contained vast untapped resources, the Norwegians won a claim for the area as its own.
Today, the Norwegian settlement of Longyearbyen looks like a typical Scandinavian town.
Norway spends millions of dollars a year to make life for its 15-hundred inhabitants as comfortable as possible.
Satellite T-V, cellular phones and the Norwegian postal service are just some of the trappings that help people survive the harsh climate and long polar nights.
But a 15 minute helicopter rides brings an entirely different world -- a Russian world.
Since 1932 the only other nation to take interest in Spitsbergen was Russia. And Russia's influence remains today.
A Russian mining settlement called Barentsburg stands on the fjord's banks.
The only thing that Norway's Longyearbyen and Russia's Barentsburg have in common is the Norwegian postal box.
Barentsburg developed around huge coal mines and now looks exactly like any other Russian mining town -- replete with its own statue of Lenin.
Coal mining is in deep crisis in Russia with tens of thousands miners out of work, so many have travelled to the islands.
Even though Russian mines in Norway are more expensive to maintain than mines back home, Russia refuses to abandon its operations here, for reasons of strategic importance and prestige.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
I came to work here from the Rostov area in Russia because most of the mines there are shut down. Miners are out of work - that's why many want to come to work here. The money we get here is not what we've been promised, of course. But now that I am here, I don't have much choice but to work.
SUPER CAPTION: Sergey Ivanov, Miner
For the last few years coal production has fallen by half, and a lack of spare parts for machinery makes mining here an increasingly dangerous business.
But there is no lack of applicants for the two year, no-vacation shifts. Miners from Russia and Ukraine are queuing to get a place.
Victor Sadovsky is on his second tour and sees his work here as the only way to secure his future.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
My main goal is to save enough money here so I'll be able to buy something back home. Or better I'll start some small business. The only place for me to earn an initial capital for that is here. I have no chance to do so at home.
SUPER CAPTION: Victor Sadovsky, Miner
The town boasts no bars, no restaurants and no proper shops. The miners must dine in one huge canteen.
And all products are signed for at the company store with the money directly taken from miners' salaries.
The harsh lifestyle is not to everyone's taste.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Some folks want to come back to work here for a second term. But not me. The only thing I can think of is to get to the end of my term. And then I'll never come back here again.
SUPER CAPTION: Georgy Klimuk, Miner
The Russian mining community has had more than its fair share of tragedy.
And a gas explosion in the mines last week killed 23 men.

Transport in Svalbard
Svalbard, Norway, is a vast, very sparsely inhabited Arctic archipelago. With fewer than 3,000 inhabitants in four communities, plus some smaller meteorological and scientific outposts, there are no communities connected by road. Off-road motorized transport is prohibited on bare ground, but snowmobiles are used extensively during winter, both for commercial and recreational activities. Transport from Longyearbyen to Barentsburg and Pyramiden is possible by snowmobile at winter, or by ship all year round. Road systems exist within the communities of Longyearbyen, Barentsburg, Sveagruva and Ny-Ålesund. All settlements have ports and Longyearbyen has a bus system.
