The scale of the surroundings of sea and mountains is both overwhelming and humbling. Nature nearly devoid of humans is wonderful but seeing their scattered remains brings shame. Svalbard heightens the awareness of what humans have been and are still doing to ruin our planet. It hits you especially hard in these beautiful and nearly unspoilt places like Svalbard.
