The Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI) is an organization that is run by the government of Norway. It studies the environment and does research in the Arctic and Antarctic.[1] It helps the government make decisions about polar areas. The NPI takes care of everything that people from Norway do in Antarctica.[2] It also keeps track of where people see whales, walruses, seals, and polar bears near Svalbard. They also create maps of the polar parts of Norway.[3] The NPI decides what places in Norway’s polar areas are called.[4][5]
