Paris was called The City of Light originally because of the Enlightenment, and then later due to embracing gas lights, so maybe Light refers to post-apocalyptic enlightenment or something

Buffalo, NY's nickname at the turn of the century was City of Light as Nickolas Tesla created the first modern power plant, hydroelectric power harnassing Niagra Falls. The power station on the Ark was named Tesla, I think. The ice nation could be Canada.
