SJ
Svalbard and Jan Mayen
Description
Svalbard and Jan Mayen is a statistical grouping of two separate Norwegian territories in the Arctic and North Atlantic: the Svalbard archipelago, roughly midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, and the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The administrative center of Svalbard, Longyearbyen, is the largest settlement in the territory, while Jan Mayen hosts only a small Norwegian meteorological and military station. Both territories are known for their remote Arctic wilderness and extensive wildlife protections. The ISO 3166-1 codes for Svalbard and Jan Mayen (alpha-2 SJ, alpha-3 SJM, numeric 744) are used to distinguish the territory in statistical and internet systems.
