The sun came up today on Spitzbergen. That doesn't sound too surprising.

But consider this.

Until a few days ago, it was nighttime allthe time on Norway's largest island. That's because Spitzbergen is one of those places that experiences a "polar night" each winter.

Which means the sun doesn't make it over the horizon for months. For our Geo Quiz we were looking for a town on Spitzbergen -- one of the world's northern most towns, in fact.

It's where Irene Gustafson works as a tourism specialist.
