Svalbad University has an, AFAIK mandatory, course that includes learning hot to shoot a rifle: https://www.unis.no/course/as-101-arctic-survival-and-safety...

In most of Svalbad you need to carry a rifle to defend yourself against polar bears.

I’d say that there’s not many of them if they go to school there.

A decent chunk of the svalbard population is researchers who moved there for the sake of their research.

I thought it was mandatory for anybody leaving town to either carry rifle, a sacrificial husky (!), or a guide who had both?
