Forlandet National Park, National park and bird sanctuary on Prins Karls Forland island, Svalbard.
Forlandet National Park extends across 4,647 square kilometers, including 616 square kilometers of land and 4,031 square kilometers of surrounding marine territory.
The Norwegian Environment Ministry established this protected area in June 1973 to preserve the natural ecosystems and archaeological remains of Norwegian whaling settlements.
The park contains multiple scientific research stations where specialists study Arctic ecosystems, marine mammals, and the effects of climate change.
Access to the national park requires permits from Svalbard authorities and transportation arrangements through certified tour operators based in Longyearbyen.
This protected area supports the northernmost population of harbor seals worldwide and maintains six distinct bird sanctuaries within its boundaries.
