The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Svalbard:
'''Svalbard''' – incorporated territory of the Kingdom of Norway comprising the Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic Ocean about midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole.<ref name=CIA_World_Factbook>{{cite web|date=July 2, 2009|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/svalbard/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260107004845/https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/svalbard/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 7, 2026|title=Svalbard|work=The World Factbook|publisher=United States Central Intelligence Agency|access-date=July 23, 2009}}</ref> The archipelago extends from 74° to 81° North, and from 10° to 35° East. The archipelago is the northernmost part of Norway. Three islands are populated: Spitsbergen, Bear Island and Hopen. The capital and largest settlement is Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen. The Spitsbergen Treaty recognises Norwegian sovereignty over Svalbard and the 1925 Svalbard Act makes Svalbard a full part of the Norwegian Kingdom.
