- Comment: I admit this is kinda technical(ish), but I think the fact that it observers DST despite having periods of permanent day and night is fascinating!

Overall: @LunaEatsTuna: Great article on such a niche but wiki-worthy page! Its very well done and concise for something that is as niche as time on the territory of Svalbard. I can't access the CIA world factbook citation for the portion in question, but the article itself cites a different source which confirms the fact so I put AGF. Please feel free to clarify that to me, but everything checks out regardless. Great work! Ornithoptera (talk) 07:12, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
