Growing up in Longyearbyen | A day in the life of a family on Svalbard, an Arctic Island

What is it like growing up in the small arctic town of Longyearbyen, where temperatures drop to -30 degrees, and polar bears are a constant threat? We spent two days with Arvydas and his beautiful family to find out!
