At the roof of the world, lays the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard, Spitsbergen or Spitzbergen: depending on where you live and thus how you call it. Here in the Netherlands, we call it Spitsbergen. While it appears to be close to the north pole, it is actually only halfway between the north pole and the northern coast of Norway. This means that the area is ice-free and snow free in the summer.

This short video is a guide tour through Barentsburg, a small Russian village bought from the Dutch. The guide is a person that lives in Barentsburg and give a short guide tour and you will hear the Russian version of the history of Svalbard. According to our guide, for example, Svalbard was discovered by Russia rather then the Dutch.
