ARCTIC Post Offices - Ny-Alesund/Svalbard (Norway)
I've prepared this beautiful cover to myself. It was posted in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard (Spitzberg) Island, the worlds most northern post office (78°55'N 11°56'E). It is a strictly research center and several nations have research bases here. There are basic services to support the 100+ research personnel who take up residence in the town during the summer months. A store, a hotel and of course, a post office. Ny-Alesund has a tiny airport and only a few flights a week from Longyearbyen land here.
