Quote:Ny-Ålesund is a tiny settlement on the west coast of the island of Spitsbergen, Svalbard. Located at 78°55′N 11°56′E, Ny-Ålesund is by most measures the northernmost permanent settlement in the world (except for a few military bases). Founded in 1916 as a coal mining town, the town housed 400 people at its peak, until it was shut down in 1962 after an explosion killed 21 people.
Ny-Ålesund reopened in 1968 as a research base. Today owned and run by Kings Bay AS, the tiny town is home to 30-35 people year-round, but the population can swell to over 120 in the summer. Practically all inhabitants are scientists.
They might have an occasional polar bear wondering through though.
Sounds perfect!! Where do I get my Residency Visas??
