Longyearbyen, Norway Coal Plant By Bjørn Christian Tørrissen - Own work by uploader, CC BY-SA 4.0
The old coal power plant in Longyearbyen is still standing, more than 40 years after the completion of the new one. The building is protected for historical reasons, but another reason for it not being demolished or restored is that the building contains asbestos.

Greetings Friends,⁠ I was so very lucky that almost 6 years ago being part of an expedition cruise organised by the by the Oceanwide Expedition Group to the North Pole. The Adventure started in Longyearbyen the town closest to the Pole. Here the visual impressions I've got touring this part of the world in June 2017⁠ Possible medieval discoveries of Svalbard by Vikings or PomorsSome scholars believe the Vikings, who were active in the area of Svalbard during the Middle Ages, were the first to discover it. Starting in the 1800s, Norwegian historians began asserting that Vikings discovered the region as early as 1194. They base this claim on maps and annals that list a place called Svalbarði (the basis for the name Svalbard, which translates to “cold rim”) roughly a four-day sail from Iceland. No physical remains have been found, however, that support this claim. Russian historians, on the other hand, believe the Pomors may have landed at Svalbard back in the 1400s. But as with the Vikings, no physical evidence substantiates this.⁠ ⁠ #spitsbergen #svalbard #arctic #visitsvalbard #norway #longyearbyen #nature #mittsvalbard #travel #visitnorway #spitzbergen #naturephotography #svalbardlife #wildlife #polarbear #norge #landscape #expedition #unisvalbard #travelphotography #landscapephotography #svalbardposten #utno #arcticcircle #polar #auroraborealis #winter #snow #uwe_foto #uwewullfenphotography (at Longyearbyen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEa8fzsGoS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Svalbard, an archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean, is a true wonder of nature. Its rugged landscapes and pristine wilderness offer a glimpse into a world untouched by human development. The glaciers, fjords, and tundra are home to a diverse array of wildlife, including polar bears, arctic foxes, and reindeer. The midnight sun during summer and the magical auroras during winter make it a unique destination for adventure-seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. Svalbard serves as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of our planet and the importance of protecting it. Let Svalbard inspire you to explore, appreciate and protect the natural world. #travel #nature #photography #travelphotography #love #svalbard #spitzbergen #longyearbyen #beautiful #art #naturephotography #arctic #wanderlust #happy #adventure #instatravel #northernnorway #northernlights #snow #winter #mountains #polarnight #northpole #norway #love (at Svalbard and Jan Mayen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkckMhsjKs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A nice walk around Longyearbyen followed by an ‘Arctic Meal’, which is seal or whale carpaccio, roasted reindeer and then ‘dessert’. It doesn’t say what the dessert is made from... maybe cloudberries?
