We're in search for one of the globe's northernmost towns in today's Geo Quiz.
This town is located on Spitsbergen Island. That's a Norwegian island located in the Arctic Ocean.

The island's largest town can be found at 78 degrees North. Which is well above the Arctic Circle. So it's really cold there. AND really dark during the long winter.
Four months out of the year, the sun doesn't even rise above the horizon. The town's polar night -- as they call it -- just ended a few days ago.
So help us find this Norwegian town where flashlights come in VERY handy in the wintertime.
