Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. Longyearbyen is the administrative center and largest settlement of Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago situated between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Located at 78° north latitude, it is one of the world's northernmost permanently inhabited settlements. The town stretches along Adventfjorden, a branch of the larger Isfjorden on Spitsbergen, Svalbard's largest island. Founded in 1906 by American businessman John Munro Longyear as a coal mining operation, the settlement was purchased by Norway's Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani in 1916. While mining operations have largely ceased, with the last Norwegian-operated mine closing in 2019, the town has transformed into a hub for Arctic tourism, research, and education. Longyearbyen experiences a polar climate with midnight sun from mid-April to mid-August and polar night from mid-November to late January. The community of approximately 2, 400 residents includes people from over 50 countries, with Norwegians comprising the largest group. The settlement houses the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), the world's northernmost institution of higher education, and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, an underground facility storing seed samples from around the world. Longyearbyen operates under the Svalbard Treaty of 1920, which recognizes Norwegian sovereignty while granting equal commercial access rights to all signatory nations.
