Platåberget

Platåberget is a mountain in Nordenskiöld Land on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway.

It is 464 meters (1,522 ft) tall and has a distinct plateau shape, for which it is named.

It is bordered to the west by the Bjørndalen valley and the Fuglefjella bird cliffs,[1] to the east by the Blomsterdalen mountain and to the north by Hotellneset and Adventfjorden.

[2] The mountain is a few kilometers from Longyearbyen and is next to Svalbard Airport, Longyear.

On 30 April 1995, a 22-year-old Norwegian college student, Nina Olaussen, was killed by a polar bear on Platåberget, only a few kilometers from Longyearbyen.
