      The rugged, glacier-topped islands of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago sit   
      well inside the Arctic Circle, about 580 miles (930 km) north the city   
      of Tromsø, Norway and about 814 miles (1,310 km) south of the North   
      Pole. Spitsbergen is the largest and western-most of the nine main   
      islands. Other islands include North East Land, Barents Island, Prins   
      Karls Foreland, Dvit Island, Dong Karles Land, Bear Island, and Hopen.   
      While the soils on these islands stay frozen year-round (permafrost),   
      the oceans to the west and south become ice-free part of the year,   
      thanks to the warmth Gulf Stream which reaches the coastal regions. The   
      Gulf stream also moderates air temperatures, which range from 6.8˚F   
      (-14˚C) in the winter to 43˚F (6˚C) in the summer.   
      
      On June 25, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of   
      the Svalbard archipelago. Solid sea ice floated on the Arctic Sea, to   
      the north, fringed by a thin layer of cloud. To the northeast, east,   
      and southeast, filigrees of thin sea ice was scattered over the Arctic   
      and Barents Sea while to the west the waters of the Greenland Sea were   
      completely ice-free.
