Longyearbyen is the administrative center and largest settlement of Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Originally established as a coal mining settlement in 1906, the town has evolved into a unique community with a rich cultural heritage reflecting its mining history and Arctic location. The town experiences polar nights from late October to mid-February and midnight sun from late April to late August.
With a population of approximately 2,400 people, Longyearbyen serves as a base for Arctic research, tourism, and education, hosting the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS). The community's cultural life is shaped by its international population and its extraordinary natural setting, with museums and cultural institutions documenting both its human history and natural environment.
The town's unique regulations, such as the requirement to carry firearms outside settled areas due to polar bear risks, and the prohibition of dying in Longyearbyen due to permafrost conditions, reflect its exceptional Arctic character.
