The Greatest High Arctic Town in the World! Longyearbyen (Svalbard) - A Cultural Travel Guide
At over 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the last substantial settlement before the North Pole and the main administrative centre of the Svalbard archipelago. Once a tough mining town, it is now a centre for scientific research as well as a prime tourism destination. It provides a home to over 50 nationalities, taking advantage of the visa free rules enshrined in the Svalbard Treaty. Most of the conveniences of a modern Norwegian town are present, but with the significant added pressure of a location in a polar bear environment and the hardship of 84 days of darkness in winter.
In this film I am indebted to the contribution of Katie Herlingshaw and also the kindness of Stuart Thomson in providing added photography.

Expedition Spotlight: Exploring Remote Jan Mayen Island | Arctic | Lindblad Expeditions
Located in the remote North Atlantic Ocean between Greenland and Norway, the island of Jan Mayen is challenging to reach—but those who make the journey are rewarded with stunning geology and a surreal, lunar landscape. Hiking on the soft, black sand, you can walk amongst ash cones, lava flows, and towering cliffs and witness Beerenberg, the island’s still-active volcano. In this episode of Expedition Spotlight, expedition leader Michael Jackson reveals what makes the world’s northernmost volcanic island so unique.

Svalbard (4k) North of mainland Europe
Svalbard Urban East Norwegian, also known as Spitsbergen, or Spitzbergen, is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. North of mainland Europe, it is about midway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole. The islands of the group range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The largest island is Spitsbergen, followed by Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya. The largest settlement is Longyearbyen.
The islands were first used as a base by the whalers who sailed far north in the 17th and 18th centuries, after which they were abandoned. Coal mining started at the beginning of the 20th century, and several permanent communities were established. The Svalbard Treaty of 1920 recognizes Norwegian sovereignty, and the 1925 Svalbard Act made Svalbard a full part of the Kingdom of Norway. They also established Svalbard as a free economic zone and a demilitarized zone. The Norwegian Store Norske and the Russian Arktikugol remain the only mining companies in place. Research and tourism have become important supplementary industries, with the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault playing critical roles in the economy.

Nordic Series Chapter 5: Adventure of a Lifetime (Svalbard)
Iceland was my most remote place to visit. But now, Svalbard and Jan Mayen takes the 1st spot. Svalbard is the place where polar bear is more than human. There are about 3,000 polar bears while human population is just around 2,500. 78 degree North high up the latitude, close to the North Pole, raw Arctic tundra, 60% of Svalbard covered by glaciers, majestic mountains, blue sea ice, animals like polar bear to walrus to seal to polar fox, the cold breeze & extreme weather and the total wilderness make Svalbard is on a whole nother level. An adventure of a lifetime I’d say.
I’ve been to Iceland 2x and Norway 3x, so I’m guessing my recent trip to Svalbard was my last trip to Norway. I always love be in the Nordic region especially in the northern hemisphere. I feel a sense of belonging there. I love everything about Iceland & Norway; the nature, landscape, northern lights, weather, wildlife, people etc. But I guess its time to bid farewell. Nevertheless, you’re always have a special place in my heart.
*a few years later* Let’s go to Iceland & Norway again haha 😂 Goodbye for now!

Land of darkness - Landing in Longyearbyen in winter! Amazing Svalbard #shorts
When you fly to Longyearbyen in the Arctic in winter you fly to a land of darkness! This is recorded just before 1400 local time in early December and it is totally dark. Dark because of the polar night, but also because there is no artificial light from humans before you reach the airport. Only the light from the moon and stars illuminate the fjords and mountains below. This is an experience very different from any other place in Europe!
It's a magical world - Let's go Exploring!

From Wikipedia: The polar night is a phenomenon where the night lasts for more than 24 hours that occurs in the northernmost and southernmost regions of the Earth. This occurs only inside the polar circles. The opposite phenomenon, the polar day, or midnight sun, occurs when the Sun stays above the horizon for more than 24 hours. Night is understood as the center of the Sun being below a free horizon. Since the atmosphere bends the rays of the Sun, the polar day is longer than the polar night, and the area that is affected by polar night is somewhat smaller than the area of midnight sun.
In Norwegian we call the Polar Night mørketid which literally can be translated into English as the dark times. Longyearbyen has a 4 month long polar night from the 26th of October to the 16th of February. In December and January there is zero daylight in the town, just an eternal darkness!
Longyearbyen ( lit. 'The Longyear Town') is the largest settlement and the administrative centre of Svalbard, Norway, with a population of 2400 (in 2019). It stretches along the foot of the left bank of the Longyear Valley and on the shore of Adventfjorden, the short estuary leading into Isfjorden on the west coast of Spitsbergen, the island's broadest inlet. Since 2002 Longyearbyen Community Council has had many of the same responsibilities as a Norwegian municipality, including utilities, education, cultural facilities, fire brigade, roads and ports. The town is the seat of the Governor of Svalbard. It is the world's northernmost settlement of any kind with more than 1,000 permanent residents.
Svalbard ; prior to 1925 known as Spitsbergen, or Spitzbergen, (lit. Sharp Peaks; Russian: Шпицберген) is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Situated north of mainland Europe, it is about midway between continental Norway and the North Pole. The islands of the group range from 74° to 81° north latitude, and from 10° to 35° east longitude. The largest island is Spitsbergen, followed by Nordaustlandet and Edgeøya. While part of the Kingdom of Norway since 1925, Svalbard is not part of geographical Norway; administratively, the archipelago is not part of any Norwegian county, but forms an unincorporated area administered by a governor appointed by the Norwegian government, and a special jurisdiction subject to the Svalbard Treaty that is outside of the Schengen Area, the Nordic Passport Union and the European Economic Area.
