Some aspects of the geology of Svalbard

Svalbard has exceptional geological diversity within a relatively small area. The islands are situated between 76°N and 81°N, longitude 10°E and 35°E, with a total land area of some 63 000 km 2 , about twice the size of Belgium. Around 60 per cent is covered by glaciers. It is one of the few places...
