        "description_en":"<h3>The island</h3>\n<p>Hopen Island on Svalbard is a remote Arctic island located in the Barents Sea. It lies roughly at the same latitude as the southern tip of Spitsbergen, about 115 NM east of it.</p>\n<p>The weather conditions on Hopen are very unfavorable, with especially frequent fog and rain. The island is also surrounded by ice for much of the winter.&nbsp;The tidal current, which shifts with high and low tide, rushes around the island with exceptional force. In certain areas, especially around the southern and northern tips, it creates a violent sea that can be dangerous for smaller vessels.</p>\n<h3>Hopen Meteorological Station</h3>\n<p>The Hopen Meteorological Station is located in the southeast part of the island, in Husdalen, approximately 7 km from the southern tip. The station is still manned and operational, consisting of several buildings, a helicopter landing pad, multiple large antennas, and supporting infrastructure.</p>\n<p>The station collects data on current weather conditions at set intervals, every three hours. Weather forecasts are broadcast twice daily, at 11:00 and 23:00 UTC, on VHF channel 12 and on medium wave 1750 kHz. The station is particularly well-positioned for clear transmissions toward the fishing grounds north of Svalbard.</p>\n<p>Hopen has no harbor, so all supplies during the summer must be transported from Coast Guard vessels to the shore using small boats. In winter, mail and smaller supplies are delivered to the station by helicopter.</p>\n<p>Hopen is an important landing and refueling site for helicopters, especially in connection with rescue operations.</p>",

On the east side of&nbsp;the island this shoal area extends a kilometre or more out from&nbsp;the shore in some places.</p>\n<p>Both sides of the island are today used as anchorages to avoid&nbsp;bad weather or to transship from hunting vessels to mother&nbsp;ships of up to 20,000 tons.&nbsp;If there is a need to land, a boat channel to the shore may be&nbsp;found in the deepest and calmest water that is without breakers&nbsp;over a longish period of time.
