On the west side of the river, along the bay, lies the port and affiliated utility and industrial services. The western part of this area is called Bykaia and the eastern part Sjøområdet. Above lies Skjæringa, the site of the Governor's offices. Slightly up the valley on the west side lies Gamle Longyearbyen ("Old Longyearbyen") and the church. Even further up lies the graveyard, then Huset and the cinema, and finally Sverdrupbyen. Most of the residential, commercial and cultural institutions are on the east side of the river. Along the bay the area is called Sjøskrenten. Further up lies the university centre and Gruvedalen, the largest residential area. Southwards from there is the main shopping area as well as the town hall. To the east is the residential area Lia and further up Haugen, which is also the location of the school. Furthest up in the valley is Mine 2b and <a href="/wiki/Nybyen" title="Nybyen">Nybyen</a>, which is mostly used as student housing. Westwards out of town towards Hotellneset is the airport and Mine 3. The remaining mines are in Adventdalen, to the east of town.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="thumb tnone" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;overflow:hidden;width:auto;max-width:678px"><div class="thumbinner"><div class="noresize" style="overflow:auto"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Longyearbyen in July"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg/670px-Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg" decoding="async" width="670" height="250" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg/1005px-Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg/1340px-Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5411" data-file-height="2020" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/wiki/File:Longyearbyen_panorama_july2011.jpg" title="File:Longyearbyen panorama july2011.jpg"> </a></div>Longyearbyen in July</div></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Longyearbyen&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Climate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg/220px-Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="275" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg/330px-Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg/440px-Longyearbyen_outskirts.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1600" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>Longyearbyen outskirts</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Climate_of_Svalbard" title="Climate of Svalbard">Svalbard's climate</a> is a polar <a href="/wiki/Tundra_climate" title="Tundra climate">tundra climate</a> (<a href="/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification" title="Köppen climate classification">Köppen</a>: ET) tempered by the <a href="/wiki/North_Atlantic_Current" title="North Atlantic Current">North Atlantic Current</a>.
