Svalbard - Maps of the World

Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, about midway between Norway and the North Pole. Svalbard comprises all islands between latitude 74° North and latitude 81° North and between longitude 10° East and longitude 35° East, including the sea within a territorial boundary 4 nautical miles from land. The principal islands are Spitsbergen, Nordaustlandet, Barentsøya, Edgeøya, Kong Karls Land, Prins Karls Forland, and Bjørnøya (Bear Island). The total area is 62,160 sq km (about 24,000 sq mi), which is only slightly smaller than West Virginia in USA and almost 1.5 times the area of Denmark in Europe. With the exception of some coastal lowlands, the landscape is mountainous with many large and small glaciers. The highest peak (Newtontoppen) reaches 1717 m asl.
