SPITSBERGEN LANDSCAPES
given svalbard's arctic location (from 74 to 81 north latitude), the landscapes are mostly harsh, mainly rock structures, plus very many glaciers. only a tenth of the area is vegetated. there are some shrubs but no trees.
during 3 to 4 months there is polar night in svalbard, that is, no sun. at that time colourful polar light (aurora borealis) can be seen.
