World's Most Isolated Town | Surviving the Last Town Before the North Pole | Free Documentary The Permafrost City - Surviving the Coldest Place on Earth: https://youtu.be/rbXrgwrQWgY Longyearbyen lies in a land of extremes. It is the northernmost city on the planet. At 78 degrees north latitude, in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, 2,500 people live year-round in a wild and icy territory so hostile to man that no indigenous population has ever settled there. Daily life is cadenced by the polar night and the midnight sun. Life 1,000 kilometres from the North Pole would be impossible without the spectacular resources available to its inhabitants. Its coal mine has been the boon Longyearbyen needed to obtain all the modern comforts while facing the harsh conditions in the Arctic. Welcomed by a family that has been living in Svalbard for three years, Alexandra Alévêque spent a little over two weeks discovering a daily life where wonderment constantly competes with astonishment. She starts her stay with the obligatory rite-of-passage for all the city's new residents: a training session on how to handle a rifle. Indeed, when venturing into the sublime landscapes of Svalbard, you chance an encounter with the lord of the pack ice, the elusive and very dangerous polar bear.
