Why Are There So Many Foreigners In The Arctic? | Svalbard, Ep 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 03. 2024
- Svalbard is an archipelago of islands in the Arctic, 600 miles south of the North Pole. It's home to people from all over the world. And thanks to a twist of fate on my first trip in 2017, I began to wonder. Why were there so many foreigners in the Arctic? This is the first question I would ever ask in my travels up north, and the first question I am answering this season. Now I'm back in one of my favorite places, talking to locals to learn the local history, and understand why. Why do they live so far north?
This episode was filmed in Longyearbyen in 2022.

This is surely the most in-depth - and ENTERTAINING - video I have seen on Svalbard. Congrats Kamari, this was absolutely worth the wait 👏🏼💛
I'm so happy to hear this Lucas! The aim is to make learning fun. 🤩 (even if it comes 2 years later from when I stared this process, I'm glad it was worth the wait 🥳)
I definitely felt that deep connection with the residents while being up there in Svalbard. Thanks for bringing back all those good memories 🙌
I'm so glad our paths crossed up there while we were filming! And you were able to meet some of these wonderful souls too. Completely agree it was very good memories up there. 🫶🏽

Amazing! If I do a part 2, then I should interview you. 😊 I hope you love your time there and if you see any of the faces from the video, make sure to say hi!
