Nordenskiöld Land National Park

The park extends over 1,362 square kilometers, containing 1,207 square kilometers of land and 155 square kilometers of marine territory on Spitsbergen island.

The Norwegian government established Nordenskiöld Land National Park in September 2003 as part of its initiative to protect Svalbard's natural environment.

The park maintains research stations where scientists study Arctic ecosystems, geological formations, and climate patterns throughout the changing seasons.

Visitors access the park from Longyearbyen, where guides organize expeditions for wildlife observation, focusing on reindeer, Arctic foxes, and various bird species.

Reindalen, the largest ice-free valley in Spitsbergen, contains multiple geological features including moraines, rock glaciers, and distinctive pingos.
