Wife wants to check it out, a friend of hers from Sweden is living there.

No but Id sure like to go there myself, more so if I could hunt Polar Bear & Walrus there !

I didn't know people lived there full time, cool !

There are about 2500-3500 people depending on the season there year round.

In two villages and a third one has about 50-5 people depending on the season.

There are no muskox, only Svalbard Reindeer, Polar Bears, Arctic Fox and birds.

Residents can hunt reindeer, birds, seals and arctic fox.

We are going to call on Monday, but I don't think she can teach there, which is what she was thinking.

I was going to do something at the mine or in the college if she got hired as a teacher.

My Pa went there a few years ago. He has been to lots of remote places seeking out rare birds and wildlife. Svalbard and Pitcairn Islands are his favourite.
