  From wikipedia:

  The Svalbard Treaty of 1920 established full Norwegian sovereignty over the archipelago. The islands are, unlike the Norwegian Antarctic Territory, a part of the Kingdom of Norway and not a dependency.

  (Since I write on the subject of open and cold water swimming, I want to know what geographical coastal areas I have or haven’t reached).

  The visualization is constructed with a third-party charting tool ( Google’s Geochart ). Their API documentation offers no method of affecting territory borders, so we’re stuck with what they give us for now.
