About Life on Svalbard

Finding Home on a Remote Island Near the North Pole

Life on Svalbard invites readers to experience the worldโ€™s northernmost town through the eyes of Cecilia Blomdahl, who has called Longyearbyen home since 2015. Located in the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole, Svalbard is a breathtakingly remote archipelago, home to polar bears, endangered wildlife, and the mesmerizing spectacle of the northern lights.

Blomdahl shares the joys and challenges of life in this extreme environment alongside her partner, Christoffer, and her dog, Grim. Through evocative text and stunning photography, she captures the unique rhythm of Arctic lifeโ€”from the depths of the polar night to the gradual return of sunlight. Her personal stories offer insight into thriving in inhospitable climates, adapting to extreme weather, and discovering beauty in isolation.

Life on Svalbard is both a visual and narrative exploration of resilience, adventure, and wonder. Whether you dream of living in the Arctic or simply want to understand life at the edge of the world, this book inspires a deeper appreciation of extreme environments and the hidden magic that can be found even in the most remote places.
