πΈπ―
πΈπ― is the flag of Svalbard meaning the archipelago in the Arctic Ocean that part of Norway.
The flag is blue with a red Diagonal Cross outlined in white. Norway's national colors of red and blue are used because Svalbard is part of Norway.
The snow and ice that cover the region are associated with the white cross. It is designed for the stark, cold and remote environment of Svalbard, and connects to Norway.
In 1994, the flag was adopted, and is used in order to represent Svalbard in discussions of geography, culture and political status within Norway.
