Longyearbyen - Norway
挪威的朗伊尔城
The Arctic town of Longyearbyen in the Svalbard Islands of Norway has a similar rule. Death is forbidden, and the town has only a small graveyard that stopped accepting new burials over 70 years ago. The reason – the bodies never decompose. It was discovered that the bodies buried in Longyearbyen were actually perfectly preserved by permafrost. Scientists even removed tissue from a man who died there and found intact traces of the influenza virus that he died from during the epidemic in 1917.
在挪威斯瓦尔巴特群岛上，北极圈内的朗伊尔城也有类似禁令。小城只有一块很小的墓地，70多年都没埋过死人了。原因是尸体在这里不能腐烂。人们发现，埋于冻土带的尸体保存得相当完好。1917年，科学家甚至从一具尸体上的细胞里发现了完好无损的流感病毒。
People who are gravely ill or expected to die soon are dispatched by air or ship to a different part of Norway, where they would spend the last days of their lives。
病入膏肓的人会被飞机或轮船送到挪威其他地方了度残生。
