@GeologyRocks101 You can’t compare Longyearbyen to a town in England or Norway for that matter. It is not the same. Longyearbyen is a metropolis, an oasis, a safe haven in the middle of Arctic! 1000km away from the rest of the world.

Well done... camera mounted well, nice quality. Places like this are depressing. I lived in Kenai Peninsula (mostly Soldotna), Alaska for all but 2 years of my life... the only time I'm ever going back is during June-August. Very depressing there, many people can do anything outside for a good 8 months out of the year due to frigid cold (unless you like winter sports -- get's old after a while), and so they drink themselves to death.... Just sick....

@DanFrederiksen I disagree. The ice and snow are great and it's not particularly hostile.

@allfantasticimages nono, it's not a nice place : ) it's an ice desert. extremely hostile to life.

@DanFrederiksen Because they're born there/have moved there and it's a nice place.

@TheQuibert No it is nothing sad about Longyearbyen. It is an arctic paradise. at least if you like wild nature, good friends, and cold weather!

@SorinFromRomania No.
24h dark from November to February. From February to April it gets gradualy lighter. From April to August we have the midnight sun; 24h light, the sun never goes down. And then from August to November it gets gradualy darker every day.
