4

Sprinkled with more polar bears than people, Svalbard is the end of the world as we know it.

Svalbard’s only town of any size, Longyearbyen is currently being hit by an apocalyptical snow storm with hurricane-strong winds triggering a large avalanche that swallowed cars and houses.

This is the most violent storm at Svalbard in the past 30 years.

In Longyearbyen – the largest settlement on the Norwegian Svalbard archipelago – people stayed two days long barricated in their homes.
