Willkommen auf Spitzbergen | ARTE Re:
Spitzbergen ist der einzige Ort auf der Welt, an dem jeder leben und arbeiten darf. Menschen aus mehr als 50 Nationen haben hier ein neues Zuhause gefunden. Doch das Leben in der Arktis verlangt ihnen einiges ab. Im Winter bleibt es über Monate dunkel und für Ausflüge in die wilde Natur braucht man ein Gewehr. Denn die Zugewanderten teilen sich die Insel mit tausenden Eisbären.

This video was supposed to be released on February 24th. I uploaded it to the channel but decided to postpone its release as war broke out in Ukraine.
It's been almost a year since I visited Norway. The first part is already on my channel. In the next episodes, I want to show you Svalbard and its extraordinary landscapes, people ready to live in permafrost, the beautiful Lofoten Islands, and, of course, the Pyramiden: the only place on Earth where real socialism did exist (for a while).

The remote archipelago of Svalbard | DW Documentary
The archipelago Svalbard in the Arctic is a place anyone can call home. A zone with no visa requirements, people from more than 50 countries live and work here. But life in the Arctic is demanding, and there are no social services to rely on.
Darkness reigns in Svalbard during the long winter months. But that doesn’t deter people from moving to the visa-free archipelago. For some, it’s a well-paid job that brings them to this remote Arctic location. Others are drawn by the breathtaking landscape. Efren Regato from the Philippines works as a cleaner in Svalbard. He’s had to adjust to frigid temperatures in Europe’s far north, while his sons complain that life in the capital of Longyearbyen is pretty monotonous. But while citizens of any country are welcome to settle in Svalbard, there are ...

The Greatest High Arctic Town in the World! Longyearbyen (Svalbard) - A Cultural Travel Guide
At over 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the last substantial settlement before the North Pole and the main administrative centre of the Svalbard archipelago. Once a tough mining town, it is now a centre for scientific research as well as a prime tourism destination. It provides a home to over 50 nationalities, taking advantage of the visa free rules enshrined in the Svalbard Treaty. Most of the conveniences of a modern Norwegian town are present, but with the significant added pressure of a location in a polar bear environment and the hardship of 84 days of darkness in winter.
In this film I am indebted to the contribution of Katie Herlingshaw and also the kindness of Stuart Thomson in providing added photography.

Photography Expedition to Svalbard
Landscape & wildlife photography in Svalbard with the Nikon Z8. In this video I spend 10 days sailing around Svalbard on the Polar Pioneer in search of landscape photography and wildlife photography. We run in to a few technical issues with the ship and we encounter tough conditions as well as sublime conditions. We are lucky enough to photograph Polar Bears, Walrus & witness a rolling iceberg. This really was the trip of a lifetime. 10% off your first Squarespace website or domain: https://www.squarespace.com/heaton

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 ...

Spitzbergen ist der einzige Ort auf der Welt, an dem jeder leben und arbeiten darf. Menschen aus mehr als 50 Nationen haben hier ein neues Zuhause gefunden. Doch das Leben in der Arktis verlangt ihnen einiges ab. Im Winter bleibt es über Monate dunkel und für Ausflüge in die wilde Natur braucht man ein Gewehr. Denn die Zugewanderten teilen sich die Insel mit tausenden Eisbären.
Manche zieht es auf der Suche nach gut bezahlter Arbeit in die arktische Abgeschiedenheit, andere sind fasziniert von der atemberaubenden Natur. Efren Regato von den Philippinen hat sich für ein Leben als Putzkraft am Rande von Europa entschieden. Dafür muss er mit der klirrenden Kälte klarkommen und damit, dass seinen Söhnen der Alltag in ihrem Wohnort Longyearbyen nur wenig Abwechslung bietet. Die Visafreiheit von Spitzbergen hat noch einen anderen Preis: Es darf zwar jeder kommen, Verlass auf ein soziales Netz gibt es hingegen nicht.
Grundsätzlich gilt: Alle müssen für ihren Lebensunterhalt selbst aufkommen können oder die Insel wieder verlassen. Für die Belgierin Élise Thil und ihren französischen Mann Loup Supéry wäre der Traum von einem Neuanfang in der Arktis fast geplatzt. Die Coronakrise hat ihnen alles abverlangt. Ohne Tourismus konnten sie über Monate kein Geld als Tourguides verdienen. Jetzt kommen die Touristen endlich wieder zurück. Und mit Ihnen auch die Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten.
Der Deutsche Christian Bruttel ist Tourunternehmer auf Spitzbergen. Früher war er Lehrer im Schwarzwald, dann entdeckte er seine Faszination für die Arktis. Er steckt nun mitten in den Vorbereitungen für seine nächste Exkursion. Seine Gäste haben ein besonderes Abenteuer gebucht: Sie wollen in Schnee und Eis weitab aller Zivilisation zelten.

The archipelago Svalbard in the Arctic is a place anyone can call home. A zone with no visa requirements, people from more than 50 countries live and work here. But life in the Arctic is demanding, and there are no social services to rely on.
Darkness reigns in Svalbard during the long winter months. But that doesn’t deter people from moving to the visa-free archipelago. For some, it’s a well-paid job that brings them to this remote Arctic location. Others are drawn by the breathtaking landscape. Efren Regato from the Philippines works as a cleaner in Svalbard. He’s had to adjust to frigid temperatures in Europe’s far north, while his sons complain that life in the capital of Longyearbyen is pretty monotonous. But while citizens of any country are welcome to settle in Svalbard, there are no social services to rely on if they fall on hard times. Those who can’t cover their living expenses must leave.
Élise Thil from Belgium and her French husband Loup Supéry almost had to give up on their dream of a new start in the Arctic. The coronavirus pandemic pushed them to the limit. For months on end, they couldn’t earn money as tour guides, because no tourists were coming. Now the tourists are finally back, and with them the hope of better times. German tour operator Christian Bruttel is also dependent on tourists. He used to work as a teacher in southern Germany - until he discovered his fascination for the Arctic. We join him as he prepares for his next excursion. His guests have booked a camping trip in the snow and ice, far removed from civilization. As they embark on their adventure, the group will need to be armed - because the residents share the archipelago with hundreds of polar bears.

The Greatest High Arctic Town in the World! Longyearbyen (Svalbard) - A Cultural Travel Guide
At over 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the last substantial settlement before the North Pole and the main administrative centre of the Svalbard archipelago. ...
At over 78 degrees north, Longyearbyen is the last substantial settlement before the North Pole and the main administrative centre of the Svalbard archipelago. Once a tough mining town, it is now a centre for scientific research as well as a prime tourism destination. It provides a home to over 50 nationalities, taking advantage of the visa free rules enshrined in the Svalbard Treaty. Most of the conveniences of a modern Norwegian town are present, but with the significant added pressure of a location in a polar bear environment and the hardship of 84 days of darkness in winter.
In this film I am indebted to the contribution of Katie Herlingshaw and also the kindness of Stuart Thomson in providing added photography.
What is Longyearbyen like?
Who can live in Longyearbyen?
Where is Longyearbyen?
What to see in Longyearbyen?
What is the best cafe in Longyearbyen?
Answers to all these questions and more!

Landscape & wildlife photography in Svalbard with the Nikon Z8. In this video I spend 10 days sailing around Svalbard on the Polar Pioneer in search of landscape photography and wildlife photography. We run in to a few technical issues with the ship and we encounter tough conditions as well as sublime conditions. We are lucky enough to photograph Polar Bears, Walrus & witness a rolling iceberg.

Longyearbyen on Svalbard is the northernmost settlement with over 1000 residents

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.
