These coordinates point to the location of a settlement that no longer exists. Its former name inspired the fictional town featured in a christmas film.

Question

What is the name of the film and when was it released?

Searching the GPS coordinates in Google Map give a point in Svalbard isles.
The point is located on a specific island named Amsterdamøya (“Amsterdam Island”).

Searching this on google gives its Wikipedia page.
In the “History” section, we learn there was a whaling station built in 1619, called Smeerenburg, with its own Wikipedia page linked.

In the “Myth” section, we read:

The 2019 animated film Klaus takes place in the town of ‘Smeerensburg’

Klaus 2019
