About this listen

Join Cecilia Blomdahl in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the world's northernmost town.

Located in the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole, Svalbard is a unique archipelago that boasts stunning wintry landscapes, endangered arctic animals, and awe-inspiring natural phenomena. Since 2016, Cecilia has called this beautiful and remote location home. Along with her partner Christoffer and her dog Grim, she has adjusted to life at the top of the world—where polar bears roam free and the northern lights shine.

With evocative text, Cecilia shares the joys and challenges of adapting to an inhospitable climate along with advice and insight for anyone seeking to thrive in unusual living conditions.

Whatever your location, Life on Svalbard will give you a deeper understanding of why people choose to live in extreme environments, and perhaps help you find the hidden magic of where you live, too.

nice, but it only scratches the surface

Interesting context and the author is likeable, but it doesn't get into much detail and it's very factual, without storytelling, so I didn't get the opportunity to be truly transposed in the Svalbard atmosphere and better understand how life is there in more detail.
