    A 1998 left, Russian coal mine in which everything was left to itself. Also the boat trip to Pyramiden is spectacular.

    The Pyramiden sign on Svalbard is a striking relic of the Soviet era. It welcomes visitors with the Cyrillic lettering "Pyramida" (Pyramids) and features a typical socialist design aesthetic. This sign stands at the entrance to the abandoned mining settlement and is a popular photo opportunity for travelers visiting the world's northernmost ghost town. It symbolizes the history of the site and serves as a reminder of the time when Pyramiden was an active center of Soviet life in the Arctic.
