A Swedish native living near the North Pole has detailed how she and her boyfriend prepare for the long harsh winter in one of the northernmost inhabited areas in the world. 

Six years ago, Cecilia Blomdahl, 31, moved to Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago just south of the North Pole. The location is so far north it experiences round-the-clock darkness from late October to early March, a phenomenon known as the polar night. 

'We only have a few more days until the polar night and that feels crazy, but it's the truth,' she said in the latest video on her YouTube channel, noting it was a bitter 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside that morning.
