Hammerfest is a small town in the north of Norway. It is about 1,000 kilometers north Arctic Circle. Only 9,407 people live here. However, about 175,000 tourists come here every year. In the winter, people here can do a lot of sports. They go skiing and they have snowmobiles. Children usually play outside, but if it’s very cold, they play inside on their computer or watch TV. In the evening, they usually stay at home and relax, or go and see friends. But the winter is difficult for old people because it is cold and light for only two or three hours a day. People even have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dark.

In the summer, life in Hammerfest is completely different. It is light for 24 hours a day, and the weather is sometimes very hot. People are outside every time. They go fishing, walking and have barbecues. They don’t sleep much and children don’t want to go to bed because they find it isn’t dark.

Life here is quiet and beautiful. The air is very fresh and clean. But the winter is very long and the summer is very short so people prefer spending their holidays to living here.

The Best Job In The World

What is a good job? Is it a job with a good salary? Not always. For some people, their salary is good, but their job is boring. And for other people, their salary isn’t good, but the job is easy. And some people are happy because their jobs are interesting. Let’s meet some people with great jobs.

Maritza Morales Casanova is Mexican and she’s from Merida. She’s a teacher, but there are no tables or chairs in her classroom because it’s a park. She says, “Empower children with information … and they will change the world.”

Jeff Kerby is a National Geographic photographer. Animals are difficult to photograph, so the job isn’t easy. Sometimes, the job is very difficult, but when you have a bad day, you look at the beautiful views and, Jeff says, “life isn’t so bad; in fact, it’s really interesting.”

Ross Donihue and Marty Schnure are mapmakers. For their job, they travel and they make digital maps of different parts of the world. One of their favorite places is Patagonia, in Argentina. Ross says, “I love Patagonia because no two days are the same. Every day is different.”
