It's amazing to have this supermarket basically a stone's throw from the North Pole. I used to live north of the Arctic Circle - about twice as far from the North Pole as Svalbard. That extra 1300 km really puts things in perspective - Svalbard is truly at the doorstep of the Pole. And the scenery - especially the northern lights - are simply magnificent.

What people often forget is that in the Nordic countries (excluding Norway) middle class income is around 4k usd a month (before taxes, after taxes below 3k) so 1200 to 1400 usd a month on food is a considerable amount. Even with two middle class incomes. Now we don’t know what Cecilia makes so but up to 1400 a month is a lot for just 2 people. Imagine what bigger families have to spend.

Same here, usually it gets pitch black at 5pm already here. I usually get home at 4pm from school so I tend to be lazy since it gets dark that quick. I'd love it to be dark for a couple of months but I'd just lay and do nothing the entire time.

The best medicine for anxiety is focusing on other's, rather than our own feeling's. There are so many needing help of all kinds. Volunteering in any capacity is a good start.

I just came back from Svalbard and your video is very relatable now! I heard of Svalbard when I was little, reading "His Dark Materials", but never really considered visiting. I only considered visiting after watching your videos I think! Longyearbyen/Svalbard was beautiful. I had to keep reminding myself where I was in the world, it was so unreal and dramatic. We even managed to see the northern lights before the weather turned more snowy. My friends and I all got sick on our last day, the same day you said you were sick at the beginning of the video! :D There was so much more we would have loved to do in Longyearbyen, we will have to come back - maybe we can experience Spring/Summer next time.
