These are glacial waterfalls of Svalbard, Norway (archipelago in the Arctic Ocean) half way between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Despite being so close to the north pole, it's temperatures are warmer in comparison to other areas with the same latitude as a result of the Gulf Stream. About 60% of the island is covered by glaciers and waterfalls with many glacial outlets ending at the sea. The waterfalls are a result of annual snow melt. The island is home to an average estimated population over 2,500, 23 nature reserves, and 7 national parks. It's an amazing place to see with plenty of wildlife and beauty. I thought these waterfalls were stunning and wanted to share.
