Islands interior of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway.  

Our hour and a half was over and we started our journey back to Longyearbyen.  As we drove through the streets of Barentsburg we had to travel along streets that were covered with what looked like industrial ash and gravel that was used to increase traction.  I drove as close to the edge of the street as possible, avoiding the ash covered street so I could reduce wear on the skis.  Maybe the wear on the skis is not a concern because most of the other riders drove right down the middle of the street.

After leaving town, we again headed toward the islands interior as seen in the picture above. 

I have looked at the web many times and found that is common for people to spell Spitsbergen with a "Z" Spitzbergen.
