The album, her fourth, contains eleven tracks composed by Sindre Hotvedt. Helene got a permission to add Norwegian lyrics to B°hren's and ┼serud's fantastic melody "Svalbardtema" from the Norwegian movie "Orions belte" (Orion's Belt), and with Helene's beautiful voice it has become incredibly beautiful. Also, there was room enough on the album to add a new version of her classic song "Mitt land" (My land). The nine other songs are brand new compositions, including the song "Ved havet" (By the sea). Svalbard is the largest island in the Spitsbergen archipegalo, far north in the Arctic Ocean, halfway between Norway and The North Pole. In Norway, the whole group of islands are usually called "Svalbard", and it is a part of the Kingdom of Norway.

In Norway, people with interest in music knows the beautiful melody "Svalbard tema" (Svalbard Theme) from the soundtrack of this movie, and it has become like an anthem for the inhabitants of Svalbard.
