About the time in Sveagruva
Sveagruva runs on Arctic/Longyearbyen, which puts the city UTC +2 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Around 300 people live in Sveagruva, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sveagruva sits at latitude 77.90, in the high-latitude band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's — is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
