Longyearbyen Town

It is an extremely strange town, because death is considered illegal here. Because it is located in the Arctic region of Norway, the soil here is permanently frozen, and the temperature is too cold for the body to decompose. This has attracted polar bears and even turned into a source of disease. So since 1950, the government has issued a law that the recently deceased must be buried elsewhere by plane or ship. As one of the harshest places in the world where people live, Longyearbyen has a wild beauty with small, colorful houses, hidden in the white snow, each contrasting color has created a magical artistic scene.
