Winters are going to begin, and many have started to prepare for this season. From wearing thick clothing to warm blankets, we do our best to stay cosy in these winter months. While you may think that winter in our country is too much, have you ever wondered what it is like to live close to the North Pole? In a recent video uploaded by Instagram user @sejsejlija, she shows her life in Svalbard, a small place near the North Pole.
In the video, the woman begins by telling that as winter approaches, Svalbard will not be seeing any sunshine for four months. In these months, there is complete darkness the entire day, and one has to live in those conditions. The people in the village use special warm clothing and wear layers of them when they go outside. They also keep torches in their hands. She further shows that her village generally has certain festivals which they celebrate with torch lights and also gear up for Christmas.
