Muslingodden

Muslingodden is located at the western side of Nordfjorden in Oscar II Land on the island Spitsbergen in Svalbard.

It has a length of about 1.5 kilometers, and was formed by the moraine of the glacier Sveabreen.

In 2016, world renowned Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi performed one of his compositions, Elegy for the Arctic, aboard a floating platform just off the coast of Muslingodden in Nordfjorden.

Speaking about the performance, Einaudi remarked, “Being here has been a great experience.

I could see the purity and fragility of this area with my own eyes and interpret a song I wrote to be played upon the best stage in the world.
