“Long year bayen, the world's northernmost settlement with a population greater than 1,000 people. In Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, north of mainland Europe, about midway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole.
And Spitsbergen is the largest island, and that's where Longyearbyen is. Newton Toppin is the highest point, at 5,620 feet. But it's beautiful up there.
It's like northern lights. I'm just looking at photos. I'm like, that's bucket list stuff.
I wanna go to Longyearbyen someday. That'd be cool. 2,884 people in...
No, that's in Spitsbergen. That's in the whole island of Spitsbergen. 2,417 people in Longyearbyen.
Yeah, that's like, that'd be cool. That's one of my travel bucket lists. That'd be fun to go to.
They got the fjords up there. Beautiful. You got...
You got... The... It's off the Advent Fjorden.
The short estuary leading into the East Fjorden. East Fjorden, which is the second largest, longest fjord in the Norwegian archipelago of Spellbard.
And that's where the Svenska Husset tragedy occurred, back in 1872 and 1873. It was an event in the winter of 1872 slash 73, where 17 men died in an isolated house”
