    There's all these "first thoughts about" threads, so we might as well do one of Svalbard. It's located inside the arctic circle and it's largest town is called Longyearbyen. Alright, what do you think?

    One of our last hopes if the world faces a "The End Of The World As We Know It" scenario because of the seed bank it has. Pretty awesome. Hope we don't ever need to make a substantial "withdrawal" from the seed bank, though.

    That moment when the "first thoughts about" thread theme jumped the shark...

    Nothing but icebergs, chill winds and freezing water. And polar bears.

    Nice choice.

    Sounds like heaven to me!




    Random thought, I'd just love to move to Norway in general. Maybe even an island with just 2,000 people on it. Maybe. :lol:

    Actually, doesn't sound that bad at all. I really don't do well in the heat. Plus, it's probably very peaceful.

    Very cold.
    Very peaceful.
    Maybe I'll visit Svalbard one day.
    This thread would have been better as a thread about Norway.

    Hard to reach with a ferry, the Northern Lights, bears, dog sledding, marine life, floating pieces of ice to watch.
