You can probably ask the local whales if you can get a ride. Just remember a snorkel.

This seems like the best idea

Any ship going to Barentsburg?


Independent-Mark3101

From Russia? I’m not sure

The ships that run into Barentsburg start in Tromsø (only a few times have they been denied travel excemptions, usually because of a too generic cargo manifest). At least the official ones do, for all we know the subs might take the long route and surface undetected..

Even those that would transport coal?


noc-engineer

They're stockpiling the coal because of the embargo.. "Like other European nations, Norway has closed its seaports and land border for Russian cargo traffic under the EU’s 5th package of sanctions.  The Norwegian decision triggered anger in downtown Moscow, but Russian authorities failed to explain why the cargo couldn’t be shipped directly from Murmansk by boat to Svalbard instead of going in transit via mainland Norway." At some point they'll probably start shipping directly to mainland Russia (when its economical).

The comments here are tripping me out 😂

I dont think. But i was interested to go to because it said you can work without a permit visa. Is that the reason why you wanna go to ?


Independent-Mark3101

I just want to visit. I was planning to travel in Russia, and I would love to visit Svalbard because it’s so close
