Store Norske is planning to open a new coal mine in autumn. We'll be still based in
Svea, but the way to work for miners will be just longer. Those, who will be working in
Lunckefjellet, need first to drive through the old mine (that's about 10 km) and then over the glacier (about 3 km) before they reach the new mine.

| People are working hard to get everything ready for autumn. |

Lunckefjellet is on the other side of the glacier, Marthabreen. Opening to the new mine is getting to be ready.

 |
| These are our new storage halls. We'll see if we'll be working there after a while. |
 |
| The blue building is called cathedral. It's huge as a cathedral. Actually it's a silo for coal which will be transported by conveyor belt through the old mine to Svea. |
Thanks for sharing.
