IsfjordenBy Øystein Overrein (ed.), Jørn Henriksen, Bjørn Fossli Johansen, Kristin PrestvoldOn the coast of Spitsbergen, slightly further north than 78°, a wide fjord opens out to the sea. Alkehornet to the north of the fjord is a distinct landmark. To the south, Radio Isfjord’s buildings at Kapp Linné emerge. Cultural remains from all of Svalbard’s historic eras, glaciers, characteristic flat-topped and layered mountains can all be found within this giant fjord complex. The largest communities of permanent residents are also located in the Isfjorden area: Barentsburg and Longyearbyen. Updated May 2015 |
