Longyearbyen, though often associated with barren landscapes, surprises visitors with houses in vibrant shades of green, blue, red, and brown. Beyond aesthetic appeal, these colors follow a strict regulation.
In areas like Lia, diverse-colored houses create a picturesque scene. Each house has a unique color, yet the overall effect feels harmonious, mirroring the natural hues of Svalbard’s surroundings, from exposed rocks to tundra greens and fjord blues.
