This week Foreign Correspondent reporter Stephanie March travels to one of the most remote places on earth – the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard.
It’s also one of the most geostrategic places on the planet and is part of a tussle for power between Russian and NATO nations in the Arctic.
Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine has thrust the once quiet Norwegian territory of Svalbard into a place of tension.
Russia has a toe hold on the archipelago and where once both communities lived peacefully, allegations of propaganda, provocation – even sabotage – are now being levelled at Russia.
In this report we explore why this unique and stunning location is so vital and how tensions are escalating.
