The largest and only permanently populated island of the Svalbard archipelago in northern Norway is a place you will definitely be amazed by. Peace and perfection screams out of its landscape.

The landscape is also very varied because of the geology and the climate. Near the coast of Spitsbergen, the landscape is very alpine with pointed mountains, which gave Spitsbergen its name.

On Spitsbergen you will have the possibility to hear the northern light flash across the sky, to clean your lungs and fill them with sharp air, and you’ll get all the best of Spitsbergen, if you decide to explore the western edge of the island and venturing to some northern outlying areas home to polar bears and Walrus.

If you decide to put this island on your travel list, it will leave you with visions creating eternal memories, because once you have seen Spitsbergen you will always be able to close your eyes and re-live it – again and again.

We have prepared a small collection of the beauty captured on this island you can check by scrolling down. Enjoy!

Gustav Vigeland worked on this project more than 20 years without the assistance of pupils or other artists, so Vigeland Sculpture Arrangement is the largest sculpture park created by a single artist. The sculptor also created the design and architectural outline of the park.
