Because of the permafrost on Svalbard, burial isn't possible as bodies simply won't decompose.However, there is a small cemetery, but itstopped accepting ‘newcomers' in the 1950s.One of the reasons was the fear that the preserved bodies may still contain traces of a flu virus that killed seven miners decades before.

In 1990, the authorities of Minsk allowed the use of the white-red-white national flag along with the state flag of the SSR. This led to many opposition supporters to create more proposals bearing this design, including flags with the Pahonia contained in the red stripe, and some even resembling a Nordic cross due to the addition of a red bar towards the hoist. [5] [6] The Norwegian flag is not folded, like in some other countries. Instead of folding it, the Norwegian tradition is roll up the flag into a cylinder shape, lower it, and place a tie around the rolled flag.

On a national level, the first officially "Norwegian" flag is considered the Royal Standard flag that is known and used today by the royal family on its coat of arms. Longyearbyen Airport is built on permafrost. The 2,483-metre-long runway is insulated against the ground, so it will not melt during the summer. The hangar is also frozen into the ground. Longyearbyen experiences a very high turnover; in 2008, 427 people (23%) moved away from the town. [29] The average person lived in Longyearbyen for 6.3 years, although it is 6.6 years for Norwegians and 4.3 years for foreigners. In 2009, about a quarter of the population had lived in the town since before 2000, and can thus be regarded as its permanent population. The longest-residing people tend to work in the mining industry, followed by local government employees. The shortest tenures are held by students and employees in higher education, tourism and the state. [28] The turnover has created what the Norwegian government calls a "revolving door society". Most young newcomers leave within seven years, a turnover rate far greater than in any municipality on the mainland. [19] a b Kuryanovich, Alyaksandr (August 18, 2015).

In summary, Svalbard does not have its own separate flag. Instead, the flag of Norway is used to represent the archipelago as it falls under the sovereignty of Norway. There were four other similar proposals, all containing a map of Bosnia, either blue or yellow, within a red-white-blue tricolor, either diagonal or horizontal, within either 10 stars in a circle, or 2 olive branches taken from the Flag of the United Nations. [11] Longyearbyen was a company town until 1989. The mining company Store Norske Spitsbergen Kullkompani (which was nationalised in 1976) controlled most of the infrastructure and services. In line with a White Paper from the Norwegian government in 1990, the authorities started a process to “normalise” Longyearbyen into a more open and regular community. This included the establishment of the Svalbard Council, which was replaced in 2002 by the expanded Longyearbyen Community Council (Longyearbyen Lokalstyre) based on a model adapted for the settlement’s endemic conditions. This coincided with the transferring of responsibility for community services and governance duties from the mining company to the Longyearbyen Community Council. In many areas, the community now functions like a municipality on the mainland, although naturally there are some significant differences. Svalbard's first airport was built in World War II. In fact, the airstrip at Adventdalen was built by theLuftwaffe. It remained in use sporadically until the construction of a new airport in the 1970s.

The first undisputed discovery of the archipelago was an expedition led by Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz in 1596, during which he called the largest island Spitsbergen (“pointed mountains” in Dutch) after the mountains on the western side of the island. Ever since that time, Svalbard has given rise to legendary stories about hunting, trapping, mining and incredible expeditions. Svalbard’s history has included international whaling (1600-1750), Russian overwintering hunting and trapping (1700-1850) and Norwegian overwintering hunting and trapping (1850-1973). Harald Fairhair is the founder of Svalbard. The country’s national anthem was written by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, and composed by Rikard Nordraak. Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean under the sovereignty of Norway, but is subject to the special status granted by the Svalbard Treaty. Jan Mayen is a remote island in the Arctic Ocean; it has no permanent population and is administered by the County Governor of Nordland. Svalbard and Jan Mayen have in common that they are the only integrated parts of Norway not allocated to counties. a b "Longyearbyen". Norwegian Polar Institute.
