The area of the world where death is prohibited
This place is also famous because the sun does not rise for six months and does not set for six months
Death can come anywhere and anytime and no one has been able to stop it till date, however, there is one place where the government has imposed a ban on death.
Such a unique place in the world is located on the Norwegian island of Longyearbyen, which is located in the Arctic region of Svalbard. Death is really prohibited here.
The reason is that the weather here is so cold that the bodies buried in the ground do not decompose, but remain frozen for decades.
A study in the 1930s found that old viruses can also survive in the bodies buried here, which can spread the disease to humans again.
That is why in the 1950s a law was made that no one could be buried in Longyearbyen, even if someone was seriously ill or close to death, they were transferred to the Norwegian mainland or somewhere else.
This place is also famous because the sun does not rise and does not set for six months.
