Did you know that there is an abandoned Russian settlement in the Arctic called Barentsburg? Wait until you see this story, it will blow your mind!!
I had to take a 2-hour boat ride from Longyearbyen (the biggest town in Svalbard) which is under Norwegian control, over to Barentsburg (the second-biggest town in Svalbard) which is under Russian control.
The two towns could not be any more different.
After visiting 169 countries and more than 500 cities, I find Barentsburg to be the absolute most bizarre town in the world.
It was purchased by the Soviet Union about 90 years ago from the Dutch because of the on-site coal mine... While there are about 400 Russian & Ukrainian miners still working here today, it's a failing business, and it's obvious that Russia keeps this place alive because they want a presence in the Arctic (think natural resources, trade routes, etc).
Walking around Barentsburg gave me flash backs to North Korea. Abandoned buildings. Seemingly staged people and culture. I still can't quite wrap my head around this!
If you enjoyed this video, please share it! It's one of my top 10 favorites of all time.

And also during winter time in Svalbard, there is no sunlight, which wouldn't make for a great video. Along with snow, wind and extremely low temperatures, blissards etc. Whilst in the summertime you have to black out your windows to get some sleep at night due to the midnight sun. So it's a much better time to visit.

He is from the United States, so he cant avoid it. All that russophobia there always gets in the mind of the people who watch the mass media. But he was honest about the intentions of Russia having that town. The job of that people is to be there, the government pay them for that. Its a job after all, I don't mean it is a easy job. The weather there is harsh. The Norwegian part is way more visited because I don't see the media attacking Norway in any way. But at least he shown the place, so people with economical resources can go there just to check how weird really is.

Barentsburg is a part of Norway . If you are in Barentsburg, than you are in Norway, you are not in Russia. The company that owns the town is russian, they owns the buildings , and the population of this town works for this russian company . But the landscape is a part of Norway . And norwegian laws apply, and the police are also norwegian . So this is defenetly a Russian town , but it is located IN Norway !

Drew, hope you are doing good which certainly you are 🤭 I have 2 questions - 1. How do you get so much leaves to travel extensively ? 2. How to you manage your financials, like do you get the money to these travels ? Answer if you please ! Nevertheless, your videos are awesome and as a bit of traveler myself, I enjoy your work ! God bless !
