Mine 3 is an abandoned coal mine near Longyearbyen, the largest settlement in the Svalbard Islands, which includes Spitsbergen. The mine originally opened in 1971 and was used for coal mining until 1996. After the closure, it has become a tourist attraction.
The mine offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the mining industry, which has been of great importance to the development of Longyearbyen and Svalbard as a whole. Visitors can be guided through the mine's underground tunnels and learn about various aspects of coal mining, including the machinery and tools used in mining.
