Weekend Video: Life in Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost town

Longyearbyen sits at 78° North where seasons flip between midnight sun and weeks of polar night and daily life bends to the Arctic. This Weekend Video dives into the rhythms of the world’s northernmost town — from grocery runs and school pick-ups under auroras to the odd realities of living with permafrost, avalanche zones and polar bear precautions. It’s a portrait of a small, international community that has shifted from coal to science and tourism yet still feels like a frontier. A frontier where cats are not allowed.
