Langyel City lacked some of the bustle of human civilization, but it had an extra dose of stunning beauty enveloped in silver and white.
From the drone's overhead view, aside from the endless white, one could also spot a hint of green, the vegetation persevering through the snow.
Contrary to what the audience might imagine, the Svalbard Archipelago wasn't entirely covered in snow and ice, and there was the rare sight of "vegetation" as far as the eye could see.
In low-lying and moist areas, plants of various colors could always be seen.
There were flowers and grasses, and even a special plant—the Edelweiss.
This flower, shaped like cotton, blossomed in white tufts across hills and fields.
There were no towering trees or dense jungles here, this touch of green was the Svalbard Archipelago's summer "swan song."
Year after year, the tenacious vegetation of summer could be seen.
