Why Do Arctic Villages Choose Isolation Over Modern Life?

Описание: You’d think modern life would be an easy upgrade—roads, big supermarkets, fast internet, and quick medical access. But across the Arctic, some communities still choose a kind of isolation that looks impossible from the outside.

In this episode, we travel across the far north to understand the real reasons people stay: not just stubbornness, but identity, land, language, and a survival system that doesn’t fit into “city logic.” We’ll break down what daily life actually looks like when shipping is slow, weather decides everything, and convenience can come with a hidden price. We’ll also look at the controversy—relocation debates, climate threats, and why “moving to somewhere safer” can create new problems instead of solving old ones.

Myth vs reality: is Arctic isolation romantic… or is it a trap? And when communities do relocate, what gets lost along the way?
