The administrative center is Longyearbyen, and other settlements, in addition to research outposts, are the Russian mining community of Barentsburg, the research community of Ny-Ålesund and the mining outpost of Sveagruva. The archipelago is administrated by the Governor of Svalbard. The islands were first taken into use as a whaling base in the 17th and 18th centuries, after which they were abandoned. Coal mining started at the beginning of the 20th century, and several permanent communities were established.

Inuit Survival Skills that will Save your Life in the Arctic
Jan 17, 2012
My name is Curtis Konek. I am an Inuk from Arviat, Nunavut and I am also in the Canadian Rangers. This video clip is for people who are going to experience the Arctic for the first time. This is a good way to show how Inuit survived and continue to survive in the Arctic for so many years. I want to share Inuit knowledge and survival skills, and show people that traditional Inuit clothing is very reliable and important to Inuit. Special thanks to the Nunavut Research Institute, Nunavut Arctic College, and Jamie Bell!
