        "description_en":"<p>Between Kvadehuken and Kapp Mitra Kongsfjorden runs in a south-easterly direction&nbsp;with a length of about 13 NM.</p>\n<p>It is foul along the shore around Kvadehuken (78&ordm;57.8'N, 11&deg;21.2'E) and the shelving seabed extends 1 NM westwards and north-westwards, while inside the fjord to Brandalpynten, it is deeper close to with steeply falling seabed. Vessels are out in deep water north of Kvadehuken with&nbsp;<em>the northern Tre Kroner&nbsp;</em>(Svea),&nbsp;<em>Ossian&nbsp;Sarsfjellet and the south&nbsp;Point of Blomstrandhalv&oslash;ya&nbsp;in line</em>103&deg;-283&deg;.</p>\n<p>In the middle of Br&oslash;ggerhalv&oslash;ya, on the south side of the fjord, the former mining town of&nbsp;<a href=\"ssr:587933\" data-county=\"Svalbard\" data-lat=\"78.92589\" data-lng=\"11.9314\" data-municipality=\"Svalbard\" data-type=\"Tettbebyggelse\">Ny-&Aring;lesund</a>&nbsp;is located on a protruding area in a wide and shallow bay.&nbsp;In the northern part northwest of the quay, Kolhamna, mariners must be extra aware of the 2.2 m underwater rock located on a straight line between Brandalpynten and the quay in&nbsp;<a href=\"ssr:587933\" data-county=\"Svalbard\" data-lat=\"78.92589\" data-lng=\"11.9314\" data-municipality=\"Svalbard\" data-type=\"Tettbebyggelse\">Ny-&Aring;lesund</a>.&nbsp;In the innermost part of the bay there is some drying area, especially at the river mouths.</p>\n<p>Zeppelinhamna, is situated south of Mainzodden and is shallower&nbsp;than Kolhamna. There is also Prins Heinrich&oslash;ya plus a&nbsp;couple of islets in the middle of the bay. North and east of the&nbsp;islets there is a pair of 2 m underwater rocks out to the edge of the 10&nbsp;m contour.</p>\n<p>Today, there is a research station here, and&nbsp;<a href=\"ssr:587933\" data-county=\"Svalbard\" data-lat=\"78.92589\" data-lng=\"11.9314\" data-municipality=\"Svalbard\" data-type=\"Tettbebyggelse\">Ny-&Aring;lesund</a>&nbsp;is thus the world's northernmost settlement.</p>\n<p>From Gluudneset and inwards to Kongsbreen it is clear and&nbsp;relatively deep towards the shore. To enter the inner basin east&nbsp;of Lov&eacute;n&oslash;yane, the coast should be followed until Breskjera&nbsp;bear approximately north, and then turn east and northwards&nbsp;into the basin. Vessels must be kept about 5 cables south of&nbsp;Breskjera to go clear of the shoal area that extends southwards&nbsp;from the rocks. Vessels can enter the inner basin between&nbsp;Lov&eacute;n&oslash;yane and the small islets Eskjeret and Rundholmen, and&nbsp;hold course for about 4 cables south of the two named islets. A&nbsp;shoal flat extends from Eskjeret, with the rock awash northeast&nbsp;from it, and northwards to Blomstrandhalv&oslash;ya, Lov&eacute;n&oslash;yane,&nbsp;which makes it difficult to navigate. There is also a 2 m underwater rock,&nbsp;and a rock awash to its north between Gerd&oslash;ya and the peninsula.&nbsp;The inner basin is otherwise clear, with the exception of&nbsp;a shoal ridge that extends about 5-6 cables south-westwards&nbsp;from the moraine ness in the north of the bay.</p>\n<p>Calf ice from the large Kongsbreen collects readily in the&nbsp;inner basin due to a collection of islands, islets and rocks that shelter&nbsp;it towards the fjord.</p>\n<p>The entrance on the north side of Blomstrandhalv&oslash;ya from the west is clean and&nbsp; with good depth, but be aware of 2 m underwater rocks south of Austneset.&nbsp; The depths in the eastern reaches are smaller, but smaller vessels can sail&nbsp; through the strait. 8 m underwater rock between Grusholmen and Tjukkholmen.&nbsp; The depths in the eastern part are smaller, but smaller vessels can sail through the strait.</p>\n<p>On the north side it is shallow along the shore, and the 20 m contour goes about 1 NM from land on the south side of Kapp Guissezholmen.</p>",

        "caution_en":"<h3>Important information for visitors to Ny-&Aring;lesund</h3>\n<p>As a visitor in Ny-&Aring;lesund, there are some rules one needs to be aware of: In the settlement and in a surrounding radius of 20 km&nbsp; around Ny-&Aring;lesund there is radio silence, meaning wifi and bluetooth must be turned off on mobile phones and other units. It is not&nbsp; allowed to use drones or other equipment (cameras, wristwatches etc.) with wifi turned on. This is due to The Norwegian Mapping&nbsp; Authority's (Kartverket) geodetic station just outside of the settlement which measures the earth's movements with very finely tuned and delicate instruments.</p>\n<h3>Survey data</h3>\n<p>Surveys are incomplete in the area. Soundings within unsurveyed areas and those compiled from incomplete older surveys are unreliable and do not fully exclude undiscovered shoals. Navigation within these waters &nbsp;should be avoided whenever possible. Attention should be paid to the Source Diagram.</p>\n<h3>Shallow areas near shoreline</h3>\n<p>Close to the shore, there can be unsurveyed areas or areas of poor data quality. Due to the chart's scale such areas are not always visible on nautical Charts. Navigation in these waters must be exercised with extreme caution.</p>\n<h3>Front of glaciers</h3>\n<p>Limits of glaciers are subject to frequent change. In front of glaciers going into the sea, there are major &nbsp;variations from year to year, and depths are uncertain. Such areas must be considered as unsurveyed. Such &nbsp;conditions must be taken into account when navigating in these waters and caution exercised.</p>",

Det er ikke tillatt &aring; bruke droner eller annet utstyr (kamera, klokker osv.)&nbsp; med wifi p&aring;sl&aring;tt.
