I've recommended Cecilia Blomdhal's youtube channel on her life in Svalsbard before. It's an incredible environment, and kind of amazing that people happily live there.
In her latest video, she talks about how a lot of people there actually like the 2 month polar night - finding it sort of relaxing, apparently. I think the sun doesn't actually rise for 4 months, but for some of that period they get twilight sky, which looks very pretty indeed. This video is mainly her talking to camera, but with some impressive photos. Have a watch, if you're interested:
I like all of her videos. Maybe the dog, which is beautiful and smart, is part of the attraction, too.
Speaking of which - in this video, you get to see her gearing up (including with shotgun on her back) to take her dog for a walk during the polar night:
So interesting...
