<description>The EISCAT station on Svalbard is located close to
Longyearbyen next to the now closed coalmine no. 7. It hosts the
EISCAT radar as well as guest instruments. The UNIS Kjell
Henriksen Observatory (KHO) is nearby and has a very large set of
complementary ground-based observatory instruments. The area has
also been the home of the now discontinued SPEAR heater and EISCAT
Svalbard Dynasonde.</description>
