High above the Arctic Circle, the archipelago of Svalbard lies halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole.Frozen, mountainous, and remote, it’s home to hundreds of polar bears and a couple of sparse settlements.One of those is Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost town, and just outside the settlement, in a decommissioned coal mine, is The Arctic World Archive (AWA) – an underground vault for data.
