Summary
The residents of Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on the planet, are in the grip of winter, which means 24 hours of total darkness and extreme Arctic weather. After one of the worst storms to hit the town in 30 years, the residents are struggling to come to terms with a huge tragedy - an avalanche which slid down the mountain wiping out many houses and killing the local teacher and a young child. It's a massive blow to the community and its effects are far reaching.
