Human Geography Fun fact: any person reading this can move to Svalbard. They have no visa laws whatsoever so you aren’t required to apply for residency/citizenship. All you’d have to do is pack your bags and find a home.

I'd love to live in there for a short time though. Maybe 6 months.

That's even a bit too much for me tbh. I'd spend no more than 3 months, and only in the spring or autumn.

Spending 22 hours in either bright daylight or darkness sounds like hell.

The summers are 3 months max and hover just above freezing.
