The Cold, Dark and Gloomy Town of Kirkenes, Norway.

Weeks in darkness. A freezing inferno. Some thrive, others slowly lose their minds. That is the Arctic town of Kirkenes, Norway. One of the coldest places in Europe. Join me to the tourist attraction of Kirkenes, Arctic Norway.

nice to see you with a great vedio amazing i like it

[@sandvenexplorer]

Hey, thanks!!

[@stevec.2702]

Visited the town in 1972 and 73. When the mining operation was running. Enjoyed my brief stays there, but it was the summer months. Yes the winters look hard but the population are accustomed to it. I wouldn't mind another trip up there. Also used to visit Narvik, enjoyed that as well. Nice video.

[@sandvenexplorer]

Narvik is very interesting. Would definitely want to go there again. VERY nice scenery and interesting history as well..

Thank you for the video! I went to Kierkenes a few years ago. Stayed at the Snow Hotel. It was beautiful!!

[@sandvenexplorer]

Thanks, made a video about that place too!

[@freerangejames6656]

I lived there for the winter season about 5 years ago. I worked at the Snow Hotel as a Dog Musher. I adopted a Husky whilst there and had to drive my VW Polo from Sussex in England to Kirkenes and back to get the dog to England as you could not fly dogs from Norway to the UK. Something I was unaware of at the time. That's the same distance and driving from Holland to India. The dog has now racked up 22 countries on his travels having started his life on the end of a two metre chain.

[@sandvenexplorer]

Long drive for sure!

Nice little city. I have been there twice - once in i military errand, and one time as an industrial worker, putting in new lining in a melting oven.

Awesome film Chris, very slick.

Thanks Dougie, and every day now it gets lighter. The sun will be back January 16, but behind mountains and clouds normally, but I expect quite a bit of sun in February and will try to visit some interesting places when the weather permits..

[@sedigives]

The more content you put out (That's honest and actuate) The more eye's you open. Just in two videos I've seen, I've noticed you share what you observe, and may have more too say but don't. Looks like great skiing! Last few years some California resorts were open on the 4th of July. Earlier & later, with new cold and snow total records. I think you know. When the Ocean is not enough to regulate Norway, you'll need "Dugnad" from everyone to get threw it. -.6F average for years now, and -.2 was the yearly average. But it's warmer right. The summer's are longer as they claim. Everything that is warm will become colder, not hotter. More snow coming, when it should be rain. I hope summer comes soon for you. Stay warm and safe.

[@sandvenexplorer]

Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting on this stuff! Take care over there!

[@sedigives]

@@sandvenexplorer By the way, you know you have two major accomplishments to be proud of. Angelina Jordan and You ran Antifa out of your country! The rest of the world should take notes on how you got rid of Antifa! Smart people. I worry about this cold cycle. I have a feeling based on cycles, this may be like the Maunder minimum. Global lying or stealing, has left us unprepared for farming in the cold! We are having seed shortages this year, and no one knows.

I heard it is the northernmost Chinatown! I would LOVE to go there one day especially in the summer to escape the heat and enjoy the midnight sun and/or spring break to see the northern lights at night and the extra daylight but nice cold weather and I am Chinese

Cool, plenty of videos from northern Norway on my channel so you MIGHT find more places up there to visit, thanks for watching!

do you have block heaters for your cars there ?

Yes for sure most people

[@jrnsteen8136]

Eh theres alot of ppl out in the summer, so wrong there. The mine is closed because of a missed plan about how to get Iron out (open or underground) mine. Money ran out under a stupid aministration. And the city is dead after 16:00 when small shops close for the day.
