Capricorn Mohair Socks at Svalbard, 600 miles from the North Pole.
Paul Freeman wore Capricorn Mohair Socks on this expedition and he took his through his thoughts and experiences of them in subzero conditions.
Svalbard is a fascinating archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean, about 600 miles from the North Pole. It’s part of Norway, though it has a unique status under the Svalbard Treaty, which grants equal rights to all signatory countries for activities such as mining and scientific research.
The largest island in the group is Spitsbergen, and the main settlement is Longyearbyen. The region is known for its stunning Arctic landscapes, including glaciers, mountains, and unique wildlife like polar bears and reindeer. Due to its high latitude, Svalbard experiences polar climate conditions, including long periods of darkness during the winter and continuous daylight during the summer.
Because of its remote location and extreme conditions, Svalbard is an intriguing spot for scientific research, particularly in fields related to climate change and Arctic ecology. It’s also known for the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which serves as a global backup storage facility for seeds to ensure the preservation of crop diversity in case of global crises.
