@ Golden Compass

I was doing some reference work today, using the CIA's World Factbook (my choice for up-to-date country information) and I noticed that Svalbard actually exists! It even includes Bjornoya (Bear Island)!
I always thought it was imaginary. Well, I suppose the bear castle and gateway to other worlds may be imaginary, but I didn't know there is a geographical place in existence called Svalbard. I love my job. Learning cool stuff all the time!

Candy Colored pretty interior.
I'm a fan of the Golden Compass books too! Saw the movie--liked it better than most of the critics did. The scenery and special effects were top-notch.
Svalbard is a part of Norway actually, and there are polarbears there - very dangerous for the local people.
