Welcome to Longyearbyen! In this episode, Nellie shows us around the most Northerly town in the world. It’s so far north there that the ground is covered in a thick layer of permafrost and polar bears peacefully roam wild. From the northernmost supermarket to the old mines, join Nellie as she discovers the town’s quirky characteristics and recounts its history.
