A taxidermied polar bear and Arctic fox are seen at the Kings Bay AS service building and canteen in Ny-Aalesund, Svalbard, Norway, April 10, 2023. Ny-Aalesund has only about 35 year-round residents but, in summer, the population swells to more than 100 as scientists fly in from across the world to the town, where the daily life centers around its diversions - a sauna, a sled dog yard, and a weekly nighttime gathering called "Strikk og Drikk," or "Knit and Sip," during which residents stitch sweaters over a glass of wine.
