Svalbard
- Longyeen |
The outpost towards the North Pole.
Longyearbyen is situated at 78 degree North and the largest
township on Svalbard with nearly 2000 people living there. Today
the activities are increasing on various interest, while the
coal-mining is decreasing. Actually today the coal brought out
are all used to produce electricity. Its a very modern township
and new buildings are comming up all the time. Hope these
pictures can give you an impression how it is like up towards the
pole - during summertime when the midnightsun was still shining
(until August 21st).
