From wherever you live, book a return ticket to **Oslo**\r\n1. Book another return ticket from **Oslo** to **Longyearbyen** with [Norwegian](http://norwegian.com)\r\n\r\nA good flight search engine is [Google Flights](https://flights.google.com).\r\n\r\n## :hotel: Accommodation\r\n\r\nCheck out the [Shelter](https://github.com/watson/arcticjs.club/issues/5) issue.\r\n\r\n## :warning: Stay safe\r\n\r\nSvalbard will be experiencing [polar night](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_night), i.e. 24 hour darkness.\r\n\r\nBring warm clothing. It is currently -10º C, but January has gotten as cold as -40º C in the past. Be prepared.\r\n\r\nIf you go outside of the main settlement, you do so at your own risk. There are many potential dangers, including [polar bear attacks](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/norway/11483443/Tourist-in-Svalbard-during-solar-eclipse-mauled-by-polar-bear.html) and [avalanches](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35144236). If you stay in the main settlement, it's probably pretty safe.
