Translated from Norwegian (aided by Google Translate):
"Crossing Svalbard with exclusively vegan food in the backpack
With the backpack full of vegan food Tanja Sonntag (33) will hike Prince Karl's Forland lengthwise.
Sonntag, who is originally from Östersund in Sweden, moved to Tromsø four years ago because of the (beautiful) nature. The scenery is also the main reason why she is doing next week's hike of Prince Karl's Forland, also called Forlandet, Svalbard.
- The island lengthwise is only 90 km long and we've put 12 days into the trip, so we have lots of time, says Sonntag with a smile.
With this much time she hopes there will be occasion for side-trips to mountain summits, resting and cooking."

The title of the article is a bit misleading as they're not actually hiking across the whole of Svalbard or even Spitsbergen, but across one of the smaller islands in the Svalbard archipelago. Still, pretty cool!
Map of Svalbard here - you can see Prins Karls Forland just to the west of Spitsbergen (which is in red) :
