| Summary: | Spitsbergen is the largest island of the Svalbard Archipelago (Norwegian province), where Longyearbyen (capital, with, among others, an airport and seaport) is located. There are several other small settlement units on the island. This creates the opportunity to get to know a slightly wider area of the island more conveniently. These settlements are among the northernmost inhabited human settlements. Comfortable and uncomplicated travel, at a reasonable price, has resulted in a rapid increase in the number of tourists in many previously inaccessible places. In addition, climate change, which can be felt today, as well as prolonged periods of heat and drought, initiate and intensify the risk of fires in many hitherto very popular tourist areas.

На острові є кілька інших невеликих поселень. Це дає змогу краще знайомитися з трохи ширшою територією острова. Ці поселення є одними з найпівнічніших поселень людини. Комфортні та нескладні подорожі за помірну ціну призвели до стрімкого зростання кількості туристів у багатьох раніше недоступних місцях. Крім того, зміна ...
