The governor of Svalbard (Norwegian: Sysselmesteren på Svalbard) represents the Norwegian government in exercising its sovereignty over the Svalbard archipelago (Spitsbergen).[2]

The position reports to the Norwegian Ministry of Justice, but it maintains all Norwegian interests in the area, including environmental protection, law enforcement, representation, mediation, and civil matters, such as marriage and divorce.[3] An important part of the position is maintaining good working relations with the Russian community in Barentsburg.

To this end, the governor's organization consists of:[4]

  • a staff section with Russian interpreters and advisors on legal matters, tourism, etc.
  • a section for law enforcement
  • a section for environmental protection
  • an administrative section, including archiving, financial management and IT support

The governor's office also has at its disposition several helicopters, snowmobiles, speedboats, and other equipment needed to meet its responsibilities. The office's annual budget is determined by the Storting and runs at about NOK 60 million, of which the largest part is used for transportation.

The position was previously called Sysselmann in Norwegian until 1 July 2021, when it was changed to Sysselmester. This was part of a wider decision by the Solberg government to replace gender-specific governmental titles in Norway with gender-neutral terms.[5][6]

Bezold effect

Optical mixing of colors Demonstration of the Bezold effect. The red seems lighter combined with the white, and darker combined with the black. The Bezold effect is an optical illusion, named after a German professor of meteorology Wilhelm von Bezold (1837–1907), who discovered that a color may appear different depending on its relation to adjacent colors. It happens when small areas of color are interspersed. An assimilation effect called the von Bezold spreading effect, similar to spatial...
