Svalbard can be a lonely place. Most of its residents have sacrificed the closeness of friends and family to live in this arctic paradise so visitors are a big deal. Christine's sister, Catherine gets to grips with Arctic life when she visits from northern England. Mary Ann's son, Vidda, who lives 1700kms away comes to her rescue as he's the only person she trusts in her kitchen. Pastor Leif's nephew, Leif Jone, an international opera singer, comes over from Copenhagen, bringing culture to his uncle's parishioners. Snowmobile guide Alex, takes his girlfriend Karolina on a romantic trip, but a romantic weekend away means going to extreme lengths.
