Come take a walk with me around Longyearbyen, the largest town on the Norwegian islands of Svalbard.
Parts of it look familiar, but make no mistake, this place is different.
At 78 degrees North, it lies just 800 miles or 1300 kilometres from the North Pole. And with over 2,000 permanent inhabitants it is the Northernmost real town on Earth.
There are only 50km of road, including the small streets between houses, so people get around the island mainly on snowmobile.
In fact there are more registered snowmobiles than residents.
Anyone leaving town is required to travel with a gun and someone who knows how to use it because the islands are also home to polar bears.
The average daytime high is below freezing for all but four months of the year, and from the end of October to mid-February the sun doesn’t rise at all. This is the long polar night.
Living here is tough. This past December an avalanche in town destroyed 10 homes, which used to be here, killing two people.
So how did this cold, remote, ice-covered archipelago come to be inhabited?
The hills around town are rich in coal deposits that have been mined for over 100 years.
The coal was transported to the port via a series of aerial tramways some of which remain today, though they are no longer operational.
Coal is a reminder that Svalbard was not always an Arctic ice world. 360 million years ago it was actually in the tropics North of the equator. A swampy area, it was covered with the precursors to modern ferns, which were much larger than they are today, reaching 10-30 metres in height.
This vegetation was then covered in mud and sand and submerged under the sea. Over time it turned into the coal deposits that in the 20th century brought miners from Norway, Russia, and the US.
Most of the coal mines have now closed and the economy is gradually shifting towards tourism, education and research.
Tourists take trips on snowmobiles and dog sleds.
There is a university centre in Svalbard, which offers semester courses in biology, physics and geology.
And up on the side of a mountain is the Svalbard Global seed vault… but that’s a story for another time.
The locals tell me that interest in the region from different nations is increasing.
As the globe warms and Arctic ice shrinks, trade routes are opening up across the North. And Svalbard is strategically placed between North America, Asia and Europe.
One day in the future Svalbard may no longer be as cold or remote as it once was.
But for now it is a reminder of how through our ingenuity people can live in the most inhospitable of places

Visit Svalbard Husky - Dog Sledding Holidays!
If you visit Svalbard and you're looking for Arctic adventures such as Svalbard dog sledding holidays, check out our review of this Husky tour.
I throw darts at the world map and travel wherever it lands, no matter how hard, far, or difficult it is.
I am usually doing this with my friend Matt for a TV show called Travel by Dart, but I also do it myself as lifestyle.
More about me and Travel by Dart?
This first dart hit Svalbard, an archipelago close to the North Pole, where they went for three weeks during Christmas and New Year. Inspiration travel.
This is just the first part of the full episode (besides this dog sledding experience we did a ton of other things), make sure to subscribe to see all the other ones and the entire project. Plus future dart throws!
Travel by Dart is a new television series that combines adventure travel, reality TV and philanthropy. Each episode two friends throw a dart a the worlds map and travel wherever it lands, no matter the remoteness, cost or difficulty.
Covering every continent on the globe, from the sands of Oman to the most remote islands of Polynesia (and beyond), over 12 episodes they uncover the history, cuisine and richness of culture that connects the world together, while seeking one distinct and outside-the-box way to bring help or positive change to the people or the land they visit.
With the goal of seeking to find the common bond of friendship and kindred love that ties the world together, every trip is fuelled entirely from their own resourcefulness.
With no fancy television studios, production companies or financial help, they film their entire journey step-by- step from beginning to end, proving that travelling to every continent on the globe, living your wildest dreams and getting past the challenges of the mundane work-life is entirely possible if you put your mind to it. Do you have what it takes to travel by dart?

A husky Ride 4K 360 - In Lapland Arctic Circle
This was one of the best experience of my life. In my childhood, I watched many fairytale stories. and now it's become a reality.
This Husky ride I did at Levi Husky Park, Lapland ( few kilometres away from Levi, Finland). The ride is almost 3KM long and it's running through some frozen river and forest side. It was around -25 cold on that day.

My travels in Svalbard - an Arctic cruise with Audley Travel
Audley Specialist Megan ventured to The Arctic and recorded this amazing footage using a GoPro. This is what she had to say about her adventure.
The Arctic: one of the last frontiers on Earth, home to colossal glistening icebergs and vast arrays of wildlife.
With a brief stop in Oslo, one of Scandinavia’s most stylish cities, I flew north to the small town of Tromso. The remote town is nestled on the far northern coastline of Norway. Discussions with locals show Tromso is clearly proud of its location, situated comfortably inside the southern edge of the Arctic Circle. The town has a distinct yet unfamiliar charm, with friendly residents and some impressive architecture making the stop an unexpected highlight.
From Tromso my twelve night expedition voyage to Svalbard began, via reindeer-herding Norwegian Sami tribes and the misleadingly titled Bjørnøya (Bear Island). A Polar Bear sighting is in fact a near impossibility here outside of the impassable winter months, but the rugged cliffs are a much more popular destination for millions of nesting sea birds.
On approach to Svalbard’s main island of Spitsbergen, the vast expanses of ocean unhurriedly transform into sea and drift ice. During the next nine days it became clear to me why Svalbard is a high priority destination for the wildlife enthusiast. Most notably the area has the world’s highest concentration of the usually elusive polar bear, and after multiple sightings on both land and ice there was no disappointment. If that wasn’t enough, the frequent polar bear sightings were interspersed with lounging walrus colonies, timid groups of reindeer, predatory arctic foxes and swarms of frantic seabirds.
After soaking in the spectacular surroundings and scenery on foot, by kayak and zodiac cruise, we arrived at the departure point. The once thriving mining town of Longyearbyen is the perfect place to try out husky-sledding, which is certainly one of the most exhilarating and unique methods of transportation I have had the pleasure to undertake!
Time to go home.
