  • I actually found this place just browsing around Google Earth.... looks very sad... and somewhat familiar...

  • @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!

  • How much was the speeding ticket? ;-)

  • @eltfell a billion Kroner.!

  • i heard that here in this city is 5 month of night...is it true?

  • @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.

  • @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....

  • end of the world?

  • Litt av et høl!

  • @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.

  • what was the temperature at this time?

  • that's a great thing about the internet. you can visit the most remote area with a few clicks.

    why do people live there? military?
