Julenissegruva

This is the abandoned coal mine 2b, known as "Julenissegruva" or "Santa Claus Mine", which is located on the mountainside above Longyearbyen. On Svalbard such cultural monuments are not restored or dismantled, but simply left to "die in beauty". Removing artefacts, or any other actions that may interfere with the natural decay of such sites, is strictly prohibited.

Barentsburg again

The coal mine in Barentsburg is still being worked, but only to provide coal for the small Rusian community here.

Barentsburg

Barentsburg is a now-mostly-abandoned Russian mining settlement on Svalbard. Only 450 people still live here, probably to maintain Russia's strategic presence in the Arctic.
