VIDEO INTRO: What is it really like to live through four months of darkness? In this video, I interviewed some of my colleagues here in Svalbard, one of the world's northernmost inhabited places, located just 1,300 km (800 miles) from the North Pole.
We all ended up on this remote Arctic archipelago, but for very different reasons. Some people love the darkness and the unique atmosphere of the polar night. Others miss the sun and count the days until it returns. Some came here for adventure, snowmobiles, and life in the Arctic wilderness. Others were drawn by career opportunities, good salaries, or simply the chance to experience something completely different.
Despite our different backgrounds, nationalities, and motivations, we all share the experience of living in one of the most isolated and fascinating places on Earth. These are their stories, their perspectives, and their honest thoughts about life in Svalbard. Would you enjoy living here?
