This has further resulted in the country code top-level domain .sj being issued for Svalbard and Jan Mayen, and ISO 3166-2:SJ.

The United Nations Statistics Division also uses this code, but has named it the Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands.

Jan Mayen is a remote island in the Arctic Ocean; it has no permanent population and is administered by the County Governor of Nordland.

[1][2] The area is 61,022 square kilometres (23,561 sq mi) and there were 2,595 residents in September 2024 Spitsbergen is the largest island, followed by Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya.

The single island covers an area of 377 square kilometres (146 sq mi) and is dominated by the 2,277-metre (7,470 ft) tall Beerenberg volcano.

[4][10] An attempt to change the ISO code to just "Svalbard" has previously failed because of opposition from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
