Is it like the one in Midsommar.That looked fun.

[@roachtoasties]

It sure looks like Hawaii to me, where tourists are out on the beach enjoying the sun. Same thing. :/

Quite an interesting place. Been researching Svalbard for quite some time now, but surprisingly there’s very little information about this place.
Was trying to go work there, since the place requires no visa and jobs in general there are interesting.
From what I’ve seen economy there is tourism focused?

Yes, coal mining is declining substantially, so tourism and the university (UNIS) are the main employers besides the government I'd say. Or at least, were until Covid-19 struck! And no visa for many nationalities, it's true, but housing is the biggest issue for newcomers.
