Of all the things I'm allowed to do in the Arctic town of Longyearbyen, dying isn't one of them. "The government simply won't allow it," says our guide Hella Liira.

Given that I'm on foot in polar bear country, I draw great comfort from this.

Flanked by armed polar bear guards, our group follows Hella across the tundra near Camp Barentsz, a tiny outpost 10 kilometres outside of Longyearbyen in the Advent Valley on Svalbard's Spitsbergen Island. Penned by muscular mountains, their charcoal flanks still painted with zebra stripes from last winter's snow, the flinty valley is a desolate study in black and white, the bright daubs of our wind jackets the only relief. Above, the sun pirouettes around the heavens, producing 24 hours of perpetual daylight.
