The best way to explore the Arctic is to fly up to Longyearbyen Norway.

It is definitely starting to get interesting…  when you approach the Svalbard islands from the south and see all the snow you wonder if anyone can live here.

Then you start to see random houses in the mountains. Look close you might see one or two.

This is a very solitary lifestyle. I hope the fish is good up here in the north.
