Svalbard

Edges of the Visible

Die nördlichste Stadt der Welt, wo ein paar tausend Menschen am Rand dessen leben, was das Land zulässt.

Farbe gegen endloses Weiß. Ein Rentier zwischen den Häusern, ein Gewehr auf der Schulter des Guides, das Licht, das zur Polarnacht hin dünner wird. In all dem Raum bleibt ein Mensch sehr klein, manchmal kaum noch sichtbar.

Aerial view of Longyearbyen, a small colourful town on a fjord ringed by snow-covered mountains.
Rows of colourful wooden houses below snow-covered mountains, a street lamp in the foreground.
A row of small colourful cabins in the snow, mountains behind under a clear sky.
A husky tied up on a snowy street outside a bar, town buildings behind.
A person cycling along a cleared path through the snowy town, low sun behind the buildings.
A reindeer stands in the snow between houses, people and low sun behind.
A yellow vehicle drives down a snowy road trailing spray, backlit, town and mountains behind.
A house veranda hung with skis, gear and drying clothes above the snow.
A polar-bear warning sign beside a snowy road, mountains stretching behind.
A guide in a heavy parka stands in the snow with a rifle over his shoulder.
A guide seen from behind raises an arm toward the wide snowfield and mountains.
An old mining cable-car bucket hangs on wires above the town.
An orange pipeline on stilts crosses the snow, mountains behind.
A tiny lone figure almost disappears in a vast white field of snow.
Footprints lead up a snow slope toward the low sun.
A small red car on a wide snowfield below distant mountains.
A pyramid-shaped mountain rises from a smooth field of snow.
A frozen sea in front of low mountains, still and quiet.
Close-up of broken pack ice, plated fragments at the shore.
A backlit figure by the water at sunset, about to enter the cold sea.
A 'weapons forbidden' sign with a rifle pictogram at the airport.
An aircraft wing above the snow-covered Arctic on the way out.
