More Snowmobiles on the Island Than Residents
Longyearbyen not only demands major challenges in terms of providing comfortable temperatures in working environments. The 2000 residents are obliged to carry weapons when they are not in the city centre as there are approximately 3000 polar bears which are also resident on the island. The most common use of transport are snowmobiles for both locals and tourists which explains why there are more snowmobiles on the island than residents.
