Svalbard, Norge

Archipelago of islands in the Arctic Ocean.

Official name is "Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands".
While the arctic archipelago of Svalbard is under the full sovereignty of Norway, it has a special status recognized by the Svalbard Treaty, resulting in certain obligations and some differences in administration and international agreements by the Norwegian government.
The remote island of Jan Mayen is an integrated territory of Norway.

The two territories about 1,000 km apart.
