• Longyearbyen, the largest settlement in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, has an unusual and often misunderstood rule: dying there is strongly discouraged due to extreme permafrost conditions.

    The town lies in the Arctic Circle, where the ground remains permanently frozen (permafrost), making traditional burial unsafe.

    When bodies are buried in such frozen conditions, decomposition slows drastically or even halts entirely.

    In fact, during a flu epidemic in 1918, bodies were buried in Longyearbyen's cemetery, and decades later, scientists found that the virus strains remained preserved in those corpses—raising public health concerns.

    Because of this, Longyearbyen officially stopped allowing burials in 1950.

    If someone is terminally ill or close to death, they are typically flown to mainland Norway to pass away. The town does not have the infrastructure to handle death in the usual way, and cremation or mainland burial is required instead.

  • Australia has become the first country to introduce a dedicated license class for ultra high-powered vehicles (UHPVs), targeting supercars with extreme acceleration capabilities. The new “U Class” license is now required in South Australia for any vehicle exceeding 276 kilowatts per tonne in power-to-weight ratio. This includes models from Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, and other performance brands. The aim is to ensure drivers are equipped with the skills to handle such machines safely on public roads.

    The move follows a series of fatal crashes involving high-performance vehicles, most notably a 2019 tragedy in Adelaide. The licensing process includes a mandatory online course costing $61, and an additional $20 fee to add the classification to an existing driver’s license. Offenders who drive UHPVs without the proper license face heavy penalties — up to $2,500 for a first offense. This initiative marks a major shift toward regulating high-speed vehicle operation and may serve as a model for other countries.
