100 days
For 100 days a year, the island's 2,400 residents are plunged into darkness, with a blue season either side from late October to early March

As we nudge into October, it's already dark in the evenings and there is noticeably less daylight as each day passes. We refer to the dark season in Svalbard as the “Polar Night”. ... The sun is at least 6 degrees below the horizon during this period and it's pitch-dark 24/7
Svalbard, Norway: The island where no one is allowed to die, or give birth. Svalbard in Norway can't handle dead bodies - because of the permafrost. "The corpses won't decompose, so they have to be shipped back to the mainland for burial."

the best time to visit Svalbard to see polar bears is the summer, between May and September. This is when the ice melts enough for ships to be able to navigate the still icy waters and explore all the wildlife there is to offer.

Polar bears: There is a very real risk of running into one of Svalbard's few thousand polar bears outside the settlements. Avalanches: Climate change is causing an increase in the number of avalanches throughout the archipelago.


The Internet connection in Svalbard is top class, courtesy of NASA renting bulk capacity on undersea fibre optic cables running at seabed to mainland Norway for its experiments. Longyearbyen has several public Internet terminals
