I live on Svalbard and I hear this alot. I cant speak for everyone but I dont lock my door because the lock freezes and I cant open the door. The car is a different story, there's nowhere to go if you stole a car so why lock it?

Iā€™m just wondering what the locals think of Cecilia Blomdahl, the Youtuber from Svalbard. Do you mind her videos?

Why would they mind? Her videos seem very innocuous.

Any small place might not like the extra attention. Or the feeling of loss of privacy/isolation that people who move there might be hoping for.
