The Bradt guide to Svalbard (Spitsbergen), including Franz Josef Land & Jan Mayen, is a unique, standalone guidebook to this evocative Arctic archipelago, a place that is plunged into darkness for four months each year & where there are 4, 000 snow scooters for a population of just 2, 500. This new sixth edition has been thoroughly updated throughout & offers new material on everything from adventure tours to accommodation, environmental change to restaurants. Also covered are the restoration of Barentsburg & the opening of Svalbard`s historic mines to visitors. Newly updated & amended, this edition reflects important recent changes in the archipelago, making it the perfect guide to a quintessential bucket-list destination. Possibly the most remote destination in the developed world, Svalbard is as off the beaten track as you can get in Europe today. A destination where there are more polar bears than people, Svalbard is the planet`s most northerly settled land & the top (if not the end) of the world. It was on & around Svalbard that most of David Attenborough` Frozen Planet was filmed. A trip to Svalbard easily lends itself to notching up geographic superlatives (most northerly kebab, most northerly souvenir shop, etc) & adventurous travellers seek out experiences such as husky driving & hikes across the permafrost, charmed by the island law that requires everyone to carry a rifle anywhere outside of Longyearbyen, a constant reminder of Svalbard`s 3, 000-strong polar bear population. The main tourist period falls in Svalbard`s brief summer, from June to August, when it`s light around the clock & not very cold. However, increasingly popular for winter sports
- especially because the next few years will enjoy unusually high Northern Lights activity
- are the so-called `light winter` months (March-May), when there is both sunlight & snow. The winter season itself (November/ December-March) offers many possibilities for outdoor adventure
- & the polar night is an experience in itself. Despite winter temperatures that can drop to over 40 below zero, Svalbard`s glorious mountains, majestic fjords & sprawling valleys are the perfect setting for adventurous journeys out to the back of beyond, giving visitors a unique vantage point on a unique tourist destination. This br&-new edition of Svalbard provides all of the practical & background information you`ll need to explore this wild place, turning the hostile into the hospitable. Bradt`s Svalbard is written by Roger Norum, an expert in the region who writes regularly on northern Norway for the press & who teaches Norwegian language & translation at University College London. He is also a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, where he carries out research on the links between tourism, travel writing & environmental change in the European Arctic.
