Hopen, Svalbard : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hopen (Svalbard)
Hopen is an island in the southeastern part of the Svalbard archipelago (Norway). Hopen was discovered in 1613, probably by Thomas Marmaduke of Hull, who named it after his former command, the ''Hopewell''. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute operates a manned weather station on the island with a staff of four persons. For the welfare of the crew, there are three cabins available on the island for their use. During World War II, the Luftwaffe placed a meteorological team there under cover of Operation Sizilien. ==Environment== A significant number of polar bears are found at Hopen in the winter;〔Oysten Wiig and Kjell Isaksen〕 moreover, the sub-population of ''Ursus maritimus'' found here is a genetically distinct taxon of polar bears associated with the Barents Sea region.〔C. Michael Hogan, 2008〕
