Hi Vice,
Videos by VICE
I’m 23, from Oxford, England, and have just moved back up to Svalbard, Norway for the dark winter. I live in a small community of about 2,000 people and a few hundred dogs. I keep a blog that describes the interesting things that are up here, although there are more and more to be discovered every day.
Check out the Wiki page for a short list of Svalbard’s features. Strange things include:
the government
the Russian towns
the scientific community
the mining community
the drinking community
the artistic community
the seed vault
the 54 nationalities
the comfort so close to the wild
the glaciers
the ice caves
the polar bears
the aurora borealis
Between February and May is the best time to come out as there is light and snow so you can travel far distances by snowmobile.
Going insane here in the dark…
