Publikasjonen er en oppfølger til og en utvidelse av tilsvarende publikasjoner fra 1999, 2001 og 2003. Prosjektet er finansiert av Svalbard Samfunnsdrift AS, Miljøverndepartementet og Justis- og politidepartementet. Formålet med sammenstillingen er å vise hva som finnes av statistikk om Svalbard, og dermed også vise hvilke statistikkbehov det er mulig å dekke utover det som ordinært er tilgjengelig sta- tistikk. Flere av tabellene i denne publikasjonen inneholder detaljopplysninger om én eller noen få institusjoner som Statistisk sentralbyrå normalt ikke ville publisert. Svalbardsamfunnet er imidlertid så lite, at ved å følge Statistisk sentralbyrås normale praksis for publisering ville statistikken ha fått et svært begrenset omfang. Det er derfor innhentet spesiell tillatelse til publisering fra alle de berørte institusjonene. Arbeidet med publikasjonen er ledet av førstekonsulent Jon Skartveit, og datafangsten er koordinert av konsulent Britt-Inger Sande. I tillegg har en rekke personer i og utenfor Sta- tistisk sentralbyrå gitt bidrag til denne statistikksamlingen. Statistisk sentralbyrå har dessu- ten møtt stor velvilje hos de over 30 institusjonene som har bidratt med statistikk. Statistisk sentralbyrå Oslo/Kongsvinger, 8. juni 2005 Øystein Olsen ___________ Olav Ljones Svalbardstatistikk 2005 3 Preface Svalbard Statistics 2005 contains a collection of available statistics on Svalbard collected by Statistics Norway. The publication is a successor and an expansion of similar publications from 1999, 2001 and 2003. Svalbard Samfunnsdrift AS, The Ministry of the Environment and The Ministry of Justice and the Police, fund this publication. The purpose of the collec- tion is to show what exists of statistics on Svalbard and thus also which statistical needs are not covered by currently available statistics. Several tables in this publication contain detailed information on one or a few institutions, which Statistics Norway normally would not have published. The Svalbard community is, however, so minuscule that following Statistics Norway's normal publishing practices would have made the scope of the statistics extremely limited. Special permission was con- sequently obtained from all of the affected institutions to publish the statistics. Mr. Jon Skartveit prepared the publication, and the data collection has been coordinated by Mrs. Britt-Inger Sande. In addition, a number of persons in and outside Statistics Norway contributed to the collection of statistics. Statistics Norway has also enjoyed the goodwill and co-operation of over 30 institutions that contributed statistics.

E-mail corresponding author (Kim Senger): [email protected] The beginning of the Norwegian oil industry is often attributed to the first exploration drilling in the North Sea in 1966, the first discovery in 1967 and the discovery of the supergiant Ekofisk field in 1969. However, petroleum exploration already started onshore Svalbard in 1960 with three mapping groups from Caltex and exploration efforts by the Dutch company Bataaffse (Shell) and the Norwegian private company Norsk Polar Navigasjon AS (NPN). NPN was the first company to spud a well at Kvadehuken near Ny-Ålesund in 1961.

    South Spitsbergen S/V Noorderlicht

    South Spitsbergen 28 September – 05 October 2008 on board S/V Noorderlicht The Noorderlicht was originally built in 1910, in Flensburg. For most of her life she served as a light vessel on the Baltic. Then, in 1991 the present owners purchased the ship and re-rigged and re-fitted her thoroughly, according to the rules of ‘Register Holland’. Noorderlicht is 46 metres long and 6.5 metres breadth, a well-balanced, two- masted schooner rig that is able to sail all seas. With: Captain: Gert Ritzema (Netherlands) First mate: Dickie Koolwijk (Netherlands) Second mate: Elisabeth Ritzema (Netherlands) Chef: Anna Kors (Niederlande) Expedition leader: Rolf Stange (Germany) And 19 brave polar explorers from Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and The United Kingdom 28. September 2008 – Longyearbyen Position at 1700: 78°14’N /15°37’E. Calm, 6°C he first bit of arctic soil that we set our feet on was the the runway of the little airport near Longyearbyen and there we met by our fearless leader, Rolf Stange from Germany, who Twas easily identified thanks to a Noorderlicht life ring. Soon we were on a bus on the way to the high arctic metropolis of Longyearbyen, where we still had some hours time to explore the settlement with its various excitements such as museum, supermarket and cafes and restaurants. Around 1700, we boarded the Noorderlicht which was alongside in the harbour of Longyearbyen. We moved into our cabins, stored our luggage away and then met the friendly crew for the first time. Captain Gert and Rolf welcomed us once again, introduced the ship and her crew, gave us some information about life on board and about some important safety issues.
  • Arctic Environments

    Arctic Environments

    Characteristics of an arctic environment and the physical geography of Svalbard - ‘geography explained’ fact sheet The Arctic environment is little studied at Key Stage Three yet it is an excellent basis for an all-encompassing study of place or as a case study to illustrate key concepts within a specific theme. Svalbard, an archipelago lying in the Arctic Ocean north of mainland Europe, about midway between Norway and the North Pole, is a place with an awesome landscape and unique geography that includes issues and themes of global, regional and local importance. A study of Svalbard could allow pupils to broaden and deepen their knowledge and understanding of different aspects of the seven geographical concepts that underpin the revised Geography Key Stage Three Programme of Study. Many pupils will have a mental image of an Arctic landscape, some may have heard of Svalbard. A useful starting point for study is to explore these perceptions using visual prompts and big questions – where is the Arctic/Svalbard? What is it like? What is happening there? Why is it like this? How will it change? Svalbard exemplifies the distinctive physical and human characteristics of the Arctic and yet is also unique amongst Arctic environments. Perceptions and characteristics of the Arctic may be represented in many ways, including art and literature and the pupil’s own geographical imagination of the place. Maps and photographs are vital in helping pupils develop spatial understanding of locations, places and processes and the scale at which they occur.

Access to cliffs and a glacier route (up Hannabreen) often necessitates crossing blocky talus (here Devonian in foreground) and then possibly a pleasanter route up the moraine on to hard glacier ice. Moraine generally affords a useful introduction to the rocks to be traversed along the glacial margin. The dots in the sky are geese training their young to fly in V formation for their migration back to the UK at the end of the summer.

Cons. int. Explor. Mer, 188: 23—35. The circulation system of the Barents Sea is described. Warm water flows into the sea from the west and is gradually transformed into Arctic water, which then flows out of the sea, partly as surface currents, partly as dense bottom water. The climatic conditions of the Barents Sea are determined both by the variations in the inflow and by processes taking place in the sea itself. The great variations in temperature and salinity observed along standard sections crossing the inflowing water masses are examined, and possible explanations are discussed.

    Arctic Cruise Svalbard Circumnavigation July 11-23, 2022

    ARCTIC CRUISE SVALBARD CIRCUMNAVIGATION JULY 11-23, 2022 ARCTIC CRUISE - 2022 Pollina Tours’ much awaited cruise to the Arctic is now scheduled for July 11-23, 2022. Please mark your calendar and book your space now as booking will only be accepted only on first come first served basis. The goal of this ARCTIC voyage is to circumnavigate Svalbard, a bucket list item for many! During the adventure we will enjoy the immense beauty of Svalbard on this high Arctic voyage among whales, walruses, polar bears and millions of sea birds. We approach the polar bear´s favorite summer residence, as we cruise to 80 degrees north, getting as close as possible to the pack ice north of Svalbard. How far north we reach, and the exact route will depend on the ice conditions, while the many amazing locations along the coasts of Svalbard’s islands are kept navigable by the warm Gulf Stream. Onboard Ocean Atlantic you will experience areas of Svalbard not easily accessible otherwise. But we are not only cruising in the far north, we will also visit some extraordinary locations in the eastern part of Svalbard with Edgeøya and in the south part of Spitsbergen like Bellsund and Hornsund. 1 ARCTIC CRUISE SVALBARD CIRCUMNAVIGATION JULY 11-23, 2022 During the short summer, wildlife such as reindeer is busy amassing energy for the icy polar winter. The cliffs shimmer with life as every surface is populated with countless birds. On several shores, the huge walruses enjoy the short Arctic summer as well as many whales and seals foraging along the edge of the pack ice and the coasts.
