But it is noteworthy that not only low temperature, the polar night and polar bears, but also one of the strangest laws in the world. The fact that on the territory of Longyearbyen are not allowed to die.

A moratorium on the death is here introduced because of the permafrost, which prevents to decompose the bodies, and this entails not only the probability of the spread of the deadly virus, but also attracts predators.

Now if someone will have an accident or serious illness, the person is delivered to the aircraft on the “mainland”. And if someone died in town, his body also trafficked to another part of Norway.
