- Summary:
- The arctic archipelago of Spitsbergen was discovered in 1596. In 1920, a treaty established it as both a Norwegian territory and a free economic zone, allowing 46 countries to access it for commercial and scientific activity. The Soviets established their settlement here shortly thereafter, calling it Grumant. Today, it's the only one that remains.
