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-course/ 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.
- Aeolun 6y ago> The course is intended for students with little or no prior experience of life in the high Arctic. I’d say that there’s not many of them if they go to school there.
