Svalbard, an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, has developed primarily due to its strategic location and Natural Resources. Initially established as a whaling station in the 17th century, it evolved into a mining hub in the 20th century, particularly for coal. In recent years, Svalbard has gained attention for its scientific research, climate studies, and as a symbol of international cooperation, evidenced by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. The region's development continues to balance economic activities with environmental conservation, particularly in light of climate change.
