Ny-Ålesund is a very special place and has unique qualities because of its high latitude but "mild" climate. Kings Bay AS is providing services to researchers and qualities like an undistrubed natural environment and remoteness are two important reasons for researchers coming to Ny-Ålesund.

To ensure these qualities, Kings Bay AS has taken measures to keep the disturbance as low as possible.

Measures:

• Waste management - no deposit of waste in Ny-Ålesund
• Restriction in traffic - protection of the natural environment and research sites
• Radio silence - regulations to protect the measurements of the Norwegian Mapping Authorities
