If I'm going to leave here, it will be with my legs first.

Those who have spent a few years up here know it will be difficult to leave. The togetherness, the helpfulness and the very special atmosphere are something you will become addicted to.

Walter Rist Christensen came to the foot of Svalbard 3-4 years ago. He works at the power plant in the town and is a machinist. He guides you in the city and the surrounding areas in search of good photos and tells stories from the city by the cold coasts. Welcome to Longyearbyen Guiding and Svalbard.
