Explore the extreme light and dark extremes during a visit to Longyearbyen - an extra-ordinary settlement right at the top of our planet! In summer you can marvel at 24 hours of sunlight, while winter brings on its own unique experience with up to 24 hours of darkness in what is famously called 'The Polar Night'. Plus, daily flights from Oslo make it incredibly accessible – making this place one not easily forgotten.
