L0ngyearbyen

This was an amazing article about the town of Longyearbyen where it is forbidden to die! It's so interesting how different lives can be, even in this day and age. Or I guess, especially in this day and age. Also the effect of the environment on the day to day life; e.g. how the children needed extra physiotherapy as the couldn't move their arms around too much because of all clothing.
Fascinating!
btw did you notice it's in Svalbard.
