All the wonders of the world, there is a place on earth where birth and death. are forbidden
It sounds incredible, but it does, not only is it spectacular, but there are more polar bears than people.
It`s the Svalbard islands.
The city where the aurora can be seen throughout the yea
The Svalbard Islands, an archipelago in the Arctic, are part of Norway`s northernmost territory.
Among them, the city of Longil, only 1300 kilometers from the North Pole, is the world`s closest city to the North Pole, and is also listed in the world record.
Aurora can be seen throughout the year because of its proximity to the Arctic.
"Wishing under the aurora is said to be more effective than shooting stars, and if two people can see the aurora together, they will stay together. 」
Although it`s a good legend, there`s a steady stream of people endless stream of people...
There are no tall buildings, no noise, only nature`s most spectacular scene with you to sleep.
02 The only city in the world that prohibits birth and death
There is a seemingly inhuman rule in the city of Langley that no one has the right to die here.
(The plane flew over Longer City)
Even if you are seriously ill or terminally ill, you have to go back to a local hospital in Norway, unless you die suddenly. A pregnant woman must leave here one month before delivery.
In fact, this regulation is also determined by the harsh environment here.
"At low temperatures, the surface is basically frozen soil, the body will not rot, bacteria will not death, if harmful bacteria flooding, will have unexpected serious consequences. 」
And that`s why it`s the only city in the world that forbids death and birth.
Such an extreme climate has both a bad and a good side.
Seven young miners were sleeping in Svalbard in 1918, when the quot; Spanish flu, which was raging in Europe, quot;. In 1998, scientists extracted valuable viral samples from the remains of frozen soil.
The polar bear is three times the resident population
Although the Svalbard Islands are said to be an island, the population of the inhabited by only 3,000 people, owing to a number of factors, such as climate, and the city of Longer occupies almost half the population, about 1,800.
Because it`s close to the North Pole, the most famous animal here is the polar bear. The number of polar bears is much larger than the number of residents, and now the number of polar bears iner is now about 5,000, according to the survey.
The probability of meeting a polar bear on this vast land is much greater than the probability of meeting a person.
So people who come here to play or live in a "training" to learn how to deal with polar bears. Of course hunting polar bears is absolutely not allowed.

Cities without day or night
In the Arctic Circle, the city of Longil is in a state of extreme night from November to February of the following year.
It sounds horrible, three or four months in the dark. But for the local population, it`s really romantic.
Residents paint their house in a variety of colors and decorate themselves with a variety of light bands house, so whenever it is, it is "brightly lit ".
From a distance, it is like the place where Santa lived in the fairytale world, surrounded by.
And the extreme day time here is the middle of April to the middle of August every year, is also the peak season of tourism.
This time the climate is mild and the beauty of the place can be felt all day. Besides that, you can play kayaking and try a motor sleigh.
If not, let the lovely sled dog take you to this pure white glass world.
Here remains the last hope of mankind
There is a "Noah`s Ark of Global Agriculture" in Langley, which is the "seed bank" of the city.
There are 1.5 million agricultural samples from all over the world. If it comes to the end of the world, it is the last hope.
The seed bank is built 120 metres inside a sandstone mountain in the permafrost region of the Svalbard Islands and 130 metres above sea level, allowing the glacier to remain dry even if it melts.
Because of the special geographical environment, the Svalbard Islands also became an important research site. China`s Arctic Yellow River Station is built here.
The Forgotten Top of the World
A lot of people hear such strange name, and so far, feel this place is extremely difficult to reach.
But in fact, this is citizen visa-free for China!
Since China`s government signed an international convention on the Svalbard Treaty in 1925, Chinese citizen now free to enter and leave the country and to work here without a work visa.
It`s not a big place here, but it`s got everything. There are bars, hotels, swimming pools and grocery stores, which are small in size but fully meet daily needs.
And because of geography, it can be seen that other places are not easy to see.
