Nordre Isfjorden National Park

The park spans 2,954 square kilometers across Spitsbergen Island, including 2,050 square kilometers of land and 904 square kilometers of marine environments.

Norway established Nordre Isfjorden National Park in 2003 to protect the natural Arctic coastal landscape and its diverse ecological systems.

The Oscar II Land and Dickson Land regions contain remnants of early mining operations, documenting the industrial heritage of Svalbard.

The Climate and Environment Ministry delegates management responsibilities to the Governor of Svalbard, who oversees visitor activities and environmental protection.

Warm saline waters entering Isfjorden create conditions for plankton growth, supporting a food chain of crustaceans, fish, seabirds, and marine mammals.
