Located in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the Svalbard Church is known as the world’s northernmost church, situated just a few hundred kilometers from the North Pole. This small wooden chapel serves as both a spiritual refuge and a community center for the residents of this remote Arctic town.

The original church was built in 1921 to serve the miners and settlers in this coal-mining region. However, it was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt in 1958, maintaining its simple wooden design that blends with the harsh Arctic environment.

Svalbard Church is often called the “last church on Earth” because it is one of the final permanent places of worship before reaching the Arctic wilderness and the North Pole. Beyond religious services, the church hosts community gatherings, symbolizing hope and resilience in one of the most extreme climates on Earth.

As a Bangladeshi traveler 🇧🇩 visiting this remote part of the world, I found the church a peaceful sanctuary amidst the frozen landscape — a reminder of faith and humanity at the edge of the globe.

Thị trấn kì lạ, nơi người dân không được phép chết và không được thất nghiệp

Bạn có biết | 15:11 16/01/2019

Không chỉ nổi tiếng là thị trấn gần Bắc cực nhất trên thế giới, nơi này còn khiến rất nhiều người tò mò bởi quy định người dân không được phép chết và không được thất nghiệp.

Thị trấn Longyearbyen thuộc quần đảo Svalbard là trung tâm định cư lớn nhất và là trung tâm hành chính của thành phố Svalbard, Na Uy. Thị trấn này cách Bắc cực khoảng 1.300 km, nhiệt độ trung bình hàng năm -7 độ C, có những thời điểm trong năm, nhiệt độ xuống còn -40 đến -50 độ C. Không chỉ nổi tiếng bởi là thị trấn gần Bắc cực nhất thế giới hay khung cảnh hùng vĩ của núi non phủ tuyết trắng, thị trấn Longyearbyen còn gây ngạc nhiên cho nhiều người bởi quy định không cho phép người chết tại đây.



Thị trấn Longyearbyen một ngày nắng hiếm hoi trong năm. Thị trấn không có người chết Theo thống kê tới năm 2015, thị trấn Longyearbyen có khoảng hơn 2.000 cư dân. Tuy nhiên đây lại là nơi duy nhất trên thế giới ban hành quy định cái chết là bất hợp pháp. Điều này có nghĩa là con người không được phép chết tại đây. Trừ những cái chết do đột tử thì người cao tuổi, người bị bệnh nặng đều phải rời thị trấn Longyearbyen đến các bệnh viện khác ở Na Uy để chữa bệnh và dưỡng già. Ngay cả phụ nữ mang thai cũng phải rời khỏi nơi đây ít nhất một tháng trước khi sinh con. Suốt một thời gian dài cho đến nay, nghĩa trang tại thị trấn Longyearbyen không có thêm người chôn cất.



Nghĩa trang tại Longyearbyen đã lâu không có người chôn cất. Nguyên nhân là do thị trấn Longyearbyen nằm rất gần Bắc cực, khí hậu quá khắc nghiệt, đất đai hầu như luôn bị đóng băng. Nếu chôn thi thể người đã mất dưới đất sẽ không thể phân hủy được. Những thi thể này có thể trở thành mầm bệnh, gây hại cho những người còn sống. Điều này đã từng xảy ra. Vào năm 1918, thị trấn Longyearbyen từng đối mặt với đại dịch cúm virut. Các nhà khoa học đã nghiên cứu và chứng minh, virut sẽ không biến mất theo những thi thể được chôn cất vì quá lạnh. Từ đó, nó sẽ lây lan sang những người còn sống và gây hại tới sức khỏe.

Người dân tại Longyearbyen cũng bị chính quyền ấn định khẩu phần rượu được mua mỗi tháng. Nguyên nhân do giá thức uống có cồn tại đây cực kỳ rẻ, nếu mua tràn lan sẽ gây ra những hậu quả khó lường. Mặc dù áp đặt nhiều quy định lạ lùng nhưng thị trấn Longyearbyen vẫn thu hút khá nhiều khách du lịch mỗi năm. Các vị khách thường tới đây để ngắm sông băng, chèo thuyền kayak, trượt xe tuyết hay ngồi xe kéo của chó...

Svalbard Church is the northernmost church in the world with the exception of a Russian Orthodox chapel on Franz Josef Land. The church was consecrated in 1958. It serves as a religious and community center. The church is part of the Church of Norway. It offers regular services, weddings, baptisms, and funerals. Services are usually held on Tuesday evenings and some Sundays. The church can seat about 140 people. The building is wooden and painted red. It has a simple, traditional design. The church hosts concerts and cultural events. It is open year-round. One minister and two employees staff the church. Attendance at regular services is typically low, often fewer than 20 people, but larger events and concerts draw more...
