A wild place at the end of the road · Longyearbyen, Norway

A 30-kilometre tundra valley east of Longyearbyen where Road 400 — one of the last drivable roads on Svalbard — runs past Isdammen lake toward the Gruve 7 coal mine before the wilderness takes over.
Visitors book northern-lights and dog-sled tours through it but rarely stop for the valley itself — it has only 7 Google reviews at 78 degrees north.
It's only worth the detour Jun–Aug. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
