The island
Prins Karls Forland lies off the west coast of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago, stretching in a long, thin line parallel to the main island. A narrow strait, Forlandsundet, separates it from Spitsbergen. Its shape is dominated by a chain of jagged mountains and glaciers running down its length, with narrow strips of flat coastal land along its shores.
The island is protected as Forlandet National Park, established in 1973, and it is an important haul-out site for walruses and a breeding ground for seabirds. It is uninhabited, and most visitors arrive on expedition cruises. Its name honours Prince Charles, the future Charles I of England.
A Prins Karls Forland map poster pairs a long, slender island with the broad fjords of Spitsbergen across the sound. There are no roads, so the drawing is made up of coastline, glacier edges and water. It works well in a tall frame and suits anyone who has sailed the west coast of Svalbard.
The narrow strait between the island and Spitsbergen runs almost its full length, drawing a long parallel line that defines the whole composition.
Jagged peaks and glaciers run down the island's length, giving the interior the structure of a backbone set against the flat surrounding sea.
A wider crop brings in the mouth of Kongsfjorden and other inlets of Spitsbergen, framing the island within a larger Arctic landscape.
