Svalbard And Jan Mayen Radio Stations

Svalbard, the Arctic archipelago administered by Norway, has broadcasting shaped entirely by its extraordinary setting. NRK services reach Longyearbyen — the world's northernmost town — and local radio initiatives have served the small community of miners, researchers and tourism workers through months of polar night. The Russian settlement of Barentsburg has maintained its own media life. Avalanche warnings, polar bear advisories and expedition news give Arctic broadcasting here a flavour found nowhere else.
