The flights between Longyearbyen and
Svea are really beautiful. I think I will never get tired to see all of those mountains under us. But, it's not only mountains we see under us, we also see a touch of human.

| Svea, our working place. This is the settlement, the entrance to the coal mine is behind the mountains. |
 |
| Colesbukta, which was serving Grumant as a port. The coal from the Grumant was loaded here. |
 |
| The coal from Grumant was transported to Colesbukta with a railway. |
 |
| This is what is left about Grumant, a Russian mining town. The town was abandoned at 1965 and at the most there were living over 1000 people. |
 |
| Bjørndalen, a cabin area. Now we're landing soon at the airport. |
Greetings Nattsnakk from way Downunder!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered you thanks to Dani, so shall be dropping by.
Spent a month in Lofoten last year, & would have loved to continue on up there; alas, so little time.
What a beautiful site! Love the photographs.

Hi Ian!
DeleteIt was exciting to get greetings from all the way there Downunder! That's about opposite side of globe... But just believe, there is living couple of your countrymen here in Longyearbyen. That's pretty far away from their home!
I hope you had a nice visit at Lofoten! And welcome some even norther, on the land of snow and ice :)
