The extreme cold temperatures in Svalbard pose risks such as frostbite, requiring people to dress in thick layers of clothing. Building in Svalbard is challenging due to the extreme cold and the need to protect the permafrost. Construction projects face issues with limited daylight and potential subsidence if the permafrost melts. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is highlighted as a crucial facility for preserving crop diversity. Providing services in Svalbard, such as heating and water supply, requires above-ground infrastructure and insulation to prevent freezing. Inaccessibility is another challenge, with limited road networks and reliance on sea, air, and snowmobile transportation. • KEY TERMS IN THE VIDEO • Svalbard, challenges, extreme cold, permafrost, frostbite, building construction, infrastructure, Svalbard Global Seed Vault, crop diversity, services, inaccessibility, transportation. • #tutor2uGeography #AQAGCSEgeography #GCSEgeographyrevision #gcsegeography Need more help with GCSE Geography?
