What is it like to live in the most remote and isolated country in the world (PHOTOS)

Swedish photographer Cecilia Blomdahl has found an extraordinary warmth in Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago near the North Pole.

Based in the town of Longyearbyen, Blomdahl documents her unique life to millions of followers on social media and has recently published a book titled "Life in Svalbard."

Blomdahl moved to Svalbard in 2015 and describes the place as a natural and calming experience.

But life in these conditions is far from easy: temperatures drop to -34.4 degrees Celsius, and wild animals such as polar bears and arctic foxes often appear on the roads. People who live here are drawn to the extraordinary nature and sense of adventure that this remote area offers, writes CNN.

Svalbard is notable for its unique periods of illumination: the polar night, from November to January, when the sun does not rise above the horizon, and the midnight sun from April to August, when the sun does not set.

These extreme conditions can affect the health of the residents, but Blomdahl, despite the challenges, experiences the polar night as a period of calm and concentration.

She points out that mindset is crucial to getting through these long days of darkness.

As Svalbard faces climate change, with warming occurring six times faster than the global average, the community tries to adapt by supporting scientific research to study the impact of rapid change.

Blomdahl, meanwhile, focuses on creating content that showcases the beauty and peaceful life of the Arctic, wanting to preserve the identity of this unique place.
