At the edge of Longyearbyen town there are polar bear warning signs, alerting you to the fact that, beyond this point, you need to carry polar bear protection. This means a flare gun to frighten the bear away, and a rifle for worst-case scenarios – well, definitely worst-case for the bear.
Snow mobiles in the background are randomly parked on forklift palettes, keeping them off the rocky ground, waiting for the return of winter snows.
