This is the northernmost city in the world.

Legend has it that it is written in the legal code here Births are not allowed on the island Nor is death allowed China's First Arctic Research Station - Yellow River Station Just over 100 kilometers from the city Started in 1920 The island is permanently visa-free for Chinese There's blue sea ice here.

Boundless glaciers.

A Bitter Blizzard Do you like it here?

I can't hear you.

It's cold.

And the polar night.

Tundra Aurora That very day.

We've arrived in the northernmost city in the world.

78 degrees north.

Longyearbyen Passengers We're approaching Svalbard.

We'll be landing in 30 minutes.

Please make sure you have fastened your seatbelt Ground temperature is below -12 degrees Celsius.

Weather light snow with wind We hope you enjoy your flight!

Looking forward to seeing you again!

Have a nice trip!

Why did humans come here to settle What kind of life do the inhabitants of this place lead?

Welcome to the far north of the world.

We're in Svalbard.

Congratulations on setting foot in the northernmost city of mankind.

Congratulations to us.

It's cold.

I made an appointment for our cab.

He's a minute away.

Ah.

That was fast.

This place is so small.

It's like five minutes to town.

A cab ride for five minutes is like 200 bucks 200 crowns.

It's expensive.

Prices here This is the cab we're taking.

Didn't realize it was a Landcruiser Where are you going?

We're going to the redison blue hotel.

You can see over there in the middle of the mountain There's a special building Saw it!

Everyone remembers Once learned in a textbook There is a preservation of all the important crops of human Doomsday Seed Vault It's hidden in this mountain up ahead.

Since we didn't rent a car this time So just to ask this sister What's the charge if you want to take a taxi there?

We have an hourly package NOK 760 per hour Okay. 760 crowns an hour.

Okay. 760 crowns an hour.

If I were to say my first impression of Svalbard I don't think it's him that's so distant and cold Rather, the prices here are really too high This is your hotel.

Ah, this is the readison hotel Yeah, that's it.

It's close to downtown.

It's still warm.

Thank you, sir.

I just finally asked her about this weather This temperature It's kind of warm right now.

It's not bad.

It's still cold.

But it's warm.

It's 10 below zero today.

OK.

The Arctic Circle doesn't seem to be as cold as we thought.

It's not as cold as in Mohe.

That one does Now it's time to take you to our room.

I've always wanted to know.

What the hell is going on with this thing It's not allowed to make out in the elevator, is it? (Mistake)

It's so big.

Deluxe suite?

Is it that big?

He's expensive for a reason.

The room is indeed nice But tell you what.

We can only stay here for 3 nights.

These last three nights Just have to move to that miner's hut or whatever it is There goes the miner's quarters.

Have three good days ahead.

Okay okay okay.

Tough day on the plane.

We'll wait another 40 minutes now.

Our guide for the day is coming to pick us up.

Got a short two-hour appointment.

Such a private guide Only in places like this do we sign up for tours Because there's no way to walk by yourself Right.

You're going out here to gun There's no way out for you.

This is our second impression of Svalbard Tourists are forbidden to go out of the town without permission Because it's also a polar bear habitat Only ask a guide with a gun to come along To unlock the map outside the city Look everybody.

I'm fully armed now.

Now to find our guide.

After a short break A grandmother came to pick us up and put us on the bus This is the area where we live.

Granny said This is the main street of Longyearbyen.

Though small in size But the library school Pools and supermarkets are all available Then I asked where the grandmother was from.

Where are you from?

People come from all over the place here.

I think over fifty-two countries live here.

So where are you from?

I'm from Switzerland.

Switzerland.

You can see the building on the hill next to the mine.

So that's the mine.

That's a mine over there.

You may not know this.

Svalbard is not part of the EU We take off from Oslo, Norway.

And a special landing in Tromsø.

Stamped the passport to leave the EU Thanks to the Svalbard Treaty, signed 104 years ago.

This means Although the Norwegian government owns the land here But Chinese citizens here They also have the same right of stay as Norwegian nationals.

You can live here indefinitely.

And yet the climate here is harsh.

Most people leave here in two to three years.

Talking.

We've reached the end of the highway.

That's why I said you don't need to rent a car.

This is where the highway ends.

Although you may think it looks like it's still going forward But there's no more road ahead.

You may not be able to see it all from here There's a valley ahead.

Those are moraine hills caused by glacial erosion.

Just behind the valley.

It's just an endless glacier.

Can I get out of the car to take a picture?

Sure!

Hello everyone.

We are now at the end of the city of Longyear.

This is as far as a man can walk to the final point.

And the end of the road.

You can see the sign over here There's no highway further on in this sign Just have to take this snowmobile.

We are just today Second hour of being here.

And then a very different view from here.

It's actually just very fjord-like like this This mountain.

But it's completely white.

And then the temperature here is very low My ears are now exposed.

It's already freezing and hurting.

It's now -12 degrees today.

If you look at this directly from the satellite's point of view You'll find pure white here.

60% of the area is covered with glaciers This is the far north at 78 degrees north latitude.

Much farther north than Nuuk, Greenland's largest city.

Would people be curious Why would a human set foot here?

What about setting up a town here?

In 1596, Dutch navigators discovered the islands.

Gave this place the romantic name of Svalbard.

means Cold Coast Islands Then because of the demand for whaling Humans began to build whaling stations here Actually, back in 1890 This then becomes a destination for Arctic tourism Subsequently in order to mine coal The town is beginning to form And then the more recent The city that sits at the North Pole.

Welcoming scientific researchers from many countries We in China also in 2004 The Chinese Arctic Yellow River Research Station has been established here.

Slowly.

This is where mankind's march to the North Pole The Last Node City Then in 2024 A human landed here holding a crab.

This town just has a very, very Arctic feel to it.

Back on the bus again.

We both couldn't help but ask the grandmother about that rumor Why are births and deaths not allowed here Actually, what the law says is If you're too old to take care of yourself If you can't take care of yourself You won't be able to continue living here There have been a few people here with cancer (Really didn't get that one.)

It will be difficult to continue living here Because there's no cure for cancer here So it's necessary to return to Norway itself for treatment Then two weeks of treatment And back to Longyearbyen.

Living here means you have to go both ways It's very difficult to live like this There's no one in Longyearbyen who can help such old and infirm people.

So the primary reason for Old and sick with no access to treatment and no one to take care of them The next best thing is if you die here The body will carry the virus and will be frozen here permanently.

There are indeed reasons for this as well You're talking about the second tier of causes If you die on the island, they'll send the body back to mainland Norway.

From the 1950s It's forbidden to bury corpses on the island.

The most we can do is leave the ashes here Next to the steps.

It's the site where we celebrate the return of the sun on March 8th.

Just last Friday.

All gathered here.

Including children.

All gathered here to sing.

Granny told us There is a special holiday in this land Festival of the Sun After 132 days of polar night.

It's only now that we're finally waiting for the sun to return.

I really can't imagine There was no sunlight for almost six months What will happen to me?

But for the people here This is the daily It's a day you'll remember for the rest of your life It's that time of year.

When you see the sun really rise again after such a long time It's really hard to describe this feeling So let's go check it out!

This world is truly amazing.

In a small town in the far north fjord People will rise for the sun Celebration. Rapture.

Celebration. Rapture.

This is our third impression of Svalbard.

It has long polar days and nights.

To avoid the polar night We just chose to do it four days after the Sun Festival.

Login here I recommend you guys to try the boat ride as well There are still regiments that go out to sea?

Get on the boat and you can see the frozen sea ice.

There's still an hour left on the trip. We can change it to any other time we want.

Because the weather is really bad today Granny said We can save the remaining hour Find a nice day and take us out again And then They also recommended us a boat trip out to sea.

Planning a trip to Svalbard is easy They have several websites Listed all the trips for almost all companies It's very easy to choose according to the calendar and the time period So we made an appointment to sail the next day If you are also new to Svalbard Then I strongly suggest you do what we did Get a guide like a grandmother first She's going to deliver the basic intel you have here.

There's a husky cafe on the right.

Coffee shop?

It's like a cat cafe.

Ah cats.

It's just that the huskies are the ones picking up the tabs at this store.

I think we're going to check it out tonight!

We love dogs!

They close at 7:00 as I recall.

So we got out of the car Just hurry up and check it out before the store closes!

It's also supposed to be the northernmost husky coffee shop in the world Now go to the dog coffee It's blowing a little snow today.

Very ambient.

Very nice.

I think that's a good start.

This camera is now full of drag It's all drag.

Look at that.

It's too cold, isn't it?

Can you watch?

Haha it's too cold.

Blues Time Now Body temperature is down to 21 degrees below zero.

Seriously, it's in Longyearbyen.

Even if you go out and walk It's all about being mentally and physically prepared.

It's mostly too windy.

Oops someone's running!

Holy shit.

Do you see this card?

hey!

It's a fox then It's still a cat.

It's a husky.

Let's go to Dog Coffee.

I think this northernmost city Not at all what I expected.

It's a very, very normal city I was beginning to think it was this supermarket it It's just a Coop.

Yeah.

What's the result?

It has one other supermarket And then it has everything And a big mall.

Very impressive.

You go in with a camera first.

Hello.

Working today are two dogs Go over there and take a look.

Go over there and look.

Go over there and take a look.

links!

Why are you ignoring me?

Both humans and dogs are tired of going to work They don't even like to work.

You touch it so well.

I'm gonna get a close-up of it.

This dog is really tired.

Go to work and get off right away.

One hour to go before the end of the shift.

The world is truly a marvelous place.

Warm Husky Cafe and So Far Away The Cold Coast Islands with their harsh climates all combined And even more marvelous It was our second day of sailing experience Good morning, everyone.

You're at table seven on the ship.

Little Crab's side face is really great!

You horse's ass.

It's just that no one said anything when they came This can go to sea.

What happened when the results came in?

It took our first guide to tell us that there was Anyway, today it was from 9am until 5pm It's a very, very long day.

This is our fourth impression of Svalbard The vast majority of the group time is particularly hardcore It's basically six or seven hours to start This is beautiful.

You know what?

You don't need composition here.

All you have to do is take the camera and record it The police boat is frozen.

There's a chance I might see a polar bear Right?

Yeah, he just did.

And then here's the icebreaker.

And this is the ship that's going to take us today.

There's not really much room on the ship There's a lot of people, too.

But until when it sails up Push the door open again to Whoa. Ship's moving. Ship's moving.

Whoa. Ship's moving. Ship's moving.

We're having an icebreaker here.

It's all ice down here.

Wow. We're on the second floor.

Where am I now?

Already far from the city.

This ship is really breaking ice.

You see, the ship is sailing on a trajectory.

It's just squeezing this ice all the way through To show you the current sea ice The sea is frozen to ice.

This is the North Pole.

Breaking ice with the waves carried by the ship Being slapped deeper into the ice It creates this amazing picture It's so beautiful.

I met a really cute Japanese guy.

He's traveling alone.

It's nice to see Asians in this part of the world.

It's really, really rare.

Hello!

May I ask if you can make an appearance?

No problem.

Thank you!

Ah, my glasses are fogging up.

Haha, that's true.

It's too cold.

I can't see anymore.

I should have worn invisible today.

This place.

If you don't wear a hat.

No face and no nose.

It won't work for a while.

Let me tell you how I feel.

Uh-huh.

Just the first 30 minutes.

I was very excited But it seems like it's been walking around with this same view forever There's always been a mountain like this next to Such a sea Right.

Yes.

Now we can see that We sailed for almost two hours.

And then this ice has gotten so thick Yeah, it's a lot thicker.

Although it was particularly cold on deck But we don't realize Just stood out there for a long time Watching the ice get thicker and thicker Feel this.

Hard-won sunshine.

The North Pole really is so different It's like Though you're just doing an ordinary thing Let's say you eat a bowl of ramen You watched a sunrise here.

But since this is the North Pole.

Everything is different!

Let's see who this sleazebag is.

Hi Links Are you doing a photo challenge here?

Challenge you?

It's about challenging yourself.

Just on a boat.

How to create photos Don't think about it.

Any shot is a photo Hello. - Hello.

Hello. - Hello.

Chinese?

Are you eating chili?

No this is what that one is called Beef. Beef sausage.

Beef. Beef sausage.

But this one is particularly small It's a lot like a chorizo.

I'm going to go eat some chorizo.

hahaha I just brought a packet.

Is this your husband?

My husband. My husband.

I'd like to share this with you It's a Chinese snack.

It's called Chili.

Spice.

yeah chorizo I might know what it is if you open it.

Have a stick!

Come on, share the chorizo Thank you, thank you.

It's been how many years since I've had I never seem to eat much.

Never had much of it?

I seldom ate this little chili bar when I was a kid So delicious!

Is it good?

It's delicious.

Another one then?

Okay!

Thanks!

Come on.

We're going out later.

We're going out to eat later, go shoot Take a shot.

Because this is the North Pole.

So even the mood for chili fries will be different We made a special trip to the deck For this.

Eating chorizo is more of a rite of passage We've specialized in going outside to 20 degrees below zero Just shared three sticks with a friend Last two left.

One for me and one for Crabby.

Yeah yeah yeah.

Come on.

To the snowy mountains.

Come on.

It's not an advertisement.

This really isn't an advertisement.

We bought this ourselves in Sweden.

I'm going to have to score that one for a couple segments.

I actually think you're a food blogger It smells so good.

I think we're in the Arctic Ocean here.

Right right right.

Look at this fjord.

Eating in Svalbard Eating chili fries on a boat We've unlocked another one of life's top pleasures.

Uh-huh.

Eating a chili bar at the North Pole It's your turn. It's your turn. It's your turn.

Have you eaten?

To the snowy mountains.

To the snowy mountains.

Now it's eyes in heaven Mouths are in heaven, too.

Tongues in Heaven Can tell you about it.

Eating chorizo at the North Pole is different than anywhere else!

It's frozen solid.

It's not bad.

It could be It's okay when you eat it.

Yes you are after eating I ate it after It's still a little hard on the teeth.

That's great.

That's great.

Look at the view from this side.

Where are we now?

Getting closer to the shore.

But there should be no way to log in Great surprises while traveling It tends to come at times like this Wizard says This is as far north as we can get.

Because the ice is too thick up front.

There's no way to keep breaking the ice What do we do next?

We're going to put everyone down on the ice for a little bit.

But only 10 people can go down at a time.

So first of all I'll go down and check the ice.

Is it safe enough and thick enough And then I'll give everyone life jackets.

A group of 10.

One by one, they're lining up to go down to the ice I didn't think it would actually come down It's just a step sticking out of the side of the boat.

And then we can go down Audience lords!

We're at the North Pole!

I can't believe I'm stepping on the Arctic Ocean.

This is something that never occurred to me.

And then I wanted to record this precious moment.

And so Just take the only one that can record first view right now Equipment for space video Ah.

It's dead.

Frozen out of battery.

Okay.

When I want to take a good shot Called by an older brother He wants me to help him take a picture of him and his son.

Can you take a picture of us?

Certainly!

Hey! Kid get over here!

You have to look into the viewfinder to shoot Okay.

Try to teach me how to use it.

I know how to use a Nikon camera.

This won't be a problem.

Do you want the ship as a background?

Yes!

No problem.

No, I really don't know how to use it very well I'm sorry.

Why can't the shutter be pressed?

Uh. You have to half-press the shutter first, then.

Ahh! The card is full!!!

The card is full at times like this!!!

Camera down?

Ah.

It's okay though! I brought my camera too, I'll take your picture first Sending you when I get back to the ship!

Kid come on!

Oh! It's actually a Hasselblad!

Ahh! You know Hasselblad too!

3, 2, I'm going to shoot oh!

Don't be shy, kid.

This time I remembered getting on the boat this morning They walked right in front of us, father and son.

Because the boy is shy.

So it took a lot of time going back and forth The main thing is that the time you can get off the ship is very limited That's about 10 minutes for a group.

Finish filming them both.

I just thought of grabbing the time to create Should we take a picture of that wizard Where is he?

There he is.

Oh.

Hey! Can I take a picture of you?

You look too cool!

What?

I look thief cool now!

Sure!

Have you guys flown your drones yet?

Flying! Thank you!

Thank you very much!

I didn't realize we were picking up the coast now.

I feel like everything is for the best right now Tap your foot.

We're literally standing on the ice at the North Pole.

I just feel so precious.

We're gonna look like we're in a hurry.

Because really That's 10 minutes.

I'm able to come down.

Really get down and go.

It just feels like a way to make memories that will last a lifetime.

OK.

I'm lying in the Arctic Ocean.

Lying at the North Pole Everyone's so happy.

Because we made up our minds to come to faraway Svalbard.

It was only then that I had the chance to meet yesterday's Granny Wizard She guided us onto this ship.

So we can finally get here.

A real landing in the Arctic Ocean The end of the story We're back on the ship.

It just suddenly dawned on me that The most precious 10 minutes of disembarkation I forgot all about it.

Leave a good picture of the two of us together But the most pleasant surprise of the trip There's no such thing as The big brother who just asked me to help take a picture of his son He's the professional portrait photographer who lives in London So back on the ship.

This big brother is actually a portrait photographer Now ask him to take two pictures of me Okay okay okay.

Let's go on deck!

Let's all go out and freeze our asses off!

Come on, get your camera.

wow my camera?

Maybe soon this will be my camera.

I think it still looks good outside.

Are you really okay with not wearing gloves?

Three two one!

Where's my wizard?

So now for the trick to teach you guys It's how to find a way out without seeing anything at all
