Spitzbergen - getting there by Mark Sukhija

In March 2015, there will be a total solar eclipse in Spitzbergen. This page has been written with that and only that in mind.

The Norwegian Air Shuttle has flights to Spitzbergen from Norway. I've not yet identified an airline which runs flights from either continental Europe or the British Isles - but please contact me if you do know one.
