Natural history and human history displays at Svalbard Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Svalbard museum<\/a> was one of my stops on my exploration of Longyearbyen on the day I arrived. It was a nice break from the cold wind and a great introduction to the history and wildlife of Svalbard. The NOK160 admission price was a good investment and if I had had space in my luggage I would have been tempted by some options on the book shelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me the most exciting exhibits were the birds and animals I was hoping to see.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

A favoured food for Polar bears are the Ringed and Whiskered seals which they hunt amongst the ice floes.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

Hunting of animals for furs and whales and walrus for blubber is what attracted humans north into this inhospitable environment before coal mining added another resource for exploitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combined static and video display gave an excellent illustration of the sheer numbers of seabirds breeding on the cliffs. The video showing clouds of wheeling alcids.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Palaeontology has yielded some fascinating discoveries of Ichthyosaurs and Pleiseosaurs<\/p>\n\n\n

There are a range of informative displays that a single visit cannot do full justice to.<\/p>\n\n\n

I have been a bit of a museum tragic since childhood and I can recommend Svalbard museum as a must visit to maximise your appreciation of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
