Svalbard's a group of islands in Norway.

It's near the North Pole.

People can see polar bears, the midnight sun and the northern lights there.

Svalbard wants tourists to visit.

Tourists can travel there by plane or cruise ship.

But Svalbard's in danger.

Transport makes a lot of CO2.

And climate change is melting the ice.

Ronny Brunvoll says this is a big problem in Svalbard.

Cruise ships use a lot of fuel.

In 2022, Svalbard stopped them travelling to the islands.

One company wants to go green.

Tore Hoem says it's using technology to help.

In the past, Svalbard had coal mines.

This made lots of CO2.

They closed many of them.

Now, the main business is tourism.

But this is dangerous for the environment too.

Børre Haugli says it's a difficult situation.
