Ny-Ålesund ("New Ålesund" - there is also a city called Alesund which we visited too) is a research town on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. The company town is owned and operated by Kings Bay, who provide facilities for permanent research institutes from ten countries. Ny-Ålesund has an all-year permanent population of 30 to 35, with the summer population reaching 120.

It is the northernmost civilian settlement in the world.

Ny Alesund is 72 mi from Svalbard Airport (Longyearbyen, Norway). There are two airlines which operate out of Svalbard Airport which do not offer domestic flights, but currently, fourteen international flights depart from the Svalbard airport each week.
