located at the end of the island's main road which is a good ten kilometers long haul in all the archipelago that spitzbergen is part of has only forty kilometers of roads even though its surface area is one half times as large as denmark. fewer than three thousand people live on spits back and most of them in the capital long year b.m. named after an american who founded a mining company here in nine hundred six coal mining used to be spits baggins major source of income now it's tourism science and research are also becoming increasingly important. more than seven hundred students have been rolled for sciences at the nor the most university in the wont and more and more young people are getting interested. the number of tourists is also rising in twenty sixteen there were one hundred forty five. and overnight stays eight percent more than the

summer. they provide a look at the inside of the glacier ventures like this are attracting creasing numbers of people to be arctic. spits back in the gateway to the north pole and the landscape straight out of a fairytale. just ahead some people prefer the cold weather to the wall of the sun and many people cheers to living colder climates whereas a couple who search for twenty years to find the perfect spot to build their dream home they found it on a peninsula in northern norway the shell like home is now that perfect little sanctuary where they can go to hibernate whenever they so desire.

the link in an insulin lies north of the arctic circle this holiday home is perfectly suited to the cold climate in northern norway where snow covers the ground for roughly half the year it was built by hot bod creamer tova felt hello welcome to my cabin come inside. the heart of the building is the living area with its floor to ceiling windows which afford a stunning view of the water this two hundred square meter bungalow is hot board kramer's and over felts weekend retreat the retiree's spend as much time here is possible i and. most assignments and looking at the city. we are relaxing more we can carry that book we can. be

a more outside. during the winter months the sun doesn't rise for too long months to compensate for the lack of daylight that has decorated the house and vibrant colors and fitted it with cozy carpets and blankets a geothermal heat pump and a wood fire ensure cozy temperatures. i can stand. near the wall from the fireplace. it's a very giving me i love it and it's. the house also boasts a sauna that can be used all year round. i go in this house and i never said that there were we are here to take this out with the family to get our daughter. and they also. we have a yeah we warm us here. have a very coffee the bedrooms face the heath behind the cabin till the fells and her

husband searched for twenty years until they found this spot to build their cabin construction began in two thousand and seven their idea was to build a cabin that harmonizes with its environment yet also provides a warm haven amid these harsh climes. i like the structure. in their warm feeling they wanted to. be like i said. you see it oh i own all there. on the outside. the cabinets wooden structure was neatly fitted into the fewer it's rock formation it's malls are lined with low who wind current. architects norris jenison designed the cabin and chose materials like wood which will withstand the harsh arctic climate for many years. it's

untreated so it has a great ice look but still it's a warm work and on the outside see dark which of course in this climate also is. very well suited. and turns your silver grey in time. yet towards the fountain hubbard kramer spent plenty of time outside if the weather permits it sometimes they can observe reindeer or whales at sea and in the winter they sometimes see the northern lights this is why they love being so far north. it's the better and not the temperate or. they are the surroundings we have here. that i haven't seen.

or to over felt and hope are kramer spending time in their cozy cabin north of the arctic circle is bliss no matter what the seas are. now of course we all know that global warming is affecting our sea levels and causing a lot of ice surrounding the poles to meant iceland is europe's northernmost country and we can't do a show on ice without going there but they are seeing the effects of climate change fast hand the long yoko glassie it is shrinking this is the country's second largest class and in a bid to try and raise awareness of the issue a tunnel has been built to take tourists into the heart of the ice a magical experience but one that won't last forever. the journey to europe's longest ice total passes through a snow covered wilderness. long your code is iceland second biggest glacier it measures fifty kilometers long and up to twenty kilometers wide but global warming

means it's shrinking fast until recently it was only possible to view the glacier from above. going inside was a purple inch reserved for scientist. but last year the glacier opened to the public. again this is going to be here and what exactly are you going to be is on your feet so you don't. target so few of your odin's daughter is taking twenty visitors from the u.s. and china into the glacier. seismic activity and glacier movement monitored regularly to make sure it's safe to enter the project is the first of its kind many people were skeptical at first but it's proved the real hit with tourists we always believed in the projects. we thought it was a good idea it was a bold idea but the a good idea in a way it was exciting and we had full faith in the project all along. planning

and preparation for the tunnel took four years while the actual building phase lasted fourteen months the project team was made up of blazer experts engineers geologists and architects. the tunnel lies about thirty meters beneath the surface. for sophia showing visitors to beauty of the glacier is a labor of love. it's. just like lots of things going on all the time i'm not the kind that you know it's used to want to sit at a desk and work there. dose a day because i get bored he said. if you would take this entire case and melted down. melted down and put it over manhattan island who would have water that was three feet on the street. and also look at the lines in the walls.

just like if you would cut open a tree you can read the years of the buffalo. it's not quite the same with the glacier but you know you can read the weather. whatever brotherhood has been you know from the was fairly good lives maybe there was a crisis in summertime or maybe here in. the wintertime. you know. so that is really cool. the jury is just over half a kilometer long. every now and then i future prevacid opens up that allows visitors to peer deep into the heart of the glacier.

iceland splicers have shrunk by ten percent over the last two decades if that trend continues there won't be much left of longer code by the end of the century. organizers hope that opening up the glacier will serve to raise the alarm showing visitors from around the world the precious beauty and fragility of this ice clad natural wonder. well the ever changing weather patterns have brought less snow to the german hotz mountains than in past years too but that doesn't stop the views from being spectacular we hoped on a train to the highest peak in the region to discover this magical landscape. days with light like this are rare in the hearts mountains in winter the sun is rising over northern germany's highest peak the pock.
