With more than 1,000 inhabitants, it is the northernmost town in the world. Known for its extreme climatic conditions, Longyearbyen plays a central role in Arctic research. The city is located at about 78° north latitude, which means that it is in the polar night during the winter months and enjoys the midnight sun in the summer.

It is an important centre for polar research and is home to several international research stations as well as the Spitsbergen Museum. The region is a destination for adventure travel, with activities such as dog sledding, snowmobile safaris and glacier hikes. Polar bears are common in the area, so it is important to travel with an armed guide. There are no trees in Longyearbyen as the ground is too cold to allow them to grow.
