It looks like a perfect summer afternoon—but it's two o'clock in the morning. ☀️🕛
Welcome to Svalbard, a cluster of Arctic islands floating halfway between Norway and the North Pole. This is the northernmost true town on Earth, closer to the top of the planet than any other place families call home. Here, the sun refuses to set for four months, only to disappear entirely for four months of relentless polar night. Polar bears comfortably outnumber the people, and yet, the people choose to stay.
Why do they stay? What secrets are they guarding at the edge of the world?

In this journey, you will discover the rules that exist nowhere else:
