  • The remains of a 1917 coal miner's messhall located 1,900 feet up on the mountain at the Hiorth Mine, also called Sneheim. This coal mine was active  sporadically during the first decades of the 20th century. Coal was transported down the mountain on a cableway.

  • Coal Cableway Station, Svalbard, Arctic Norway, 78 degrees North. Coal from six different<br />
mines in Svalbard was transported across the landscape in large<br />
buckets hung on cableways. This unique infrastructure is found in<br />
Longyearbyen, Svalbard, where coal mining is ongoing but being<br />
phased out. Of the seven mines that have operated here, one<br />
remains active. Much of the coal mined is burned locally to<br />
provide electricity and hot water for heating, illustrating a feedback<br />
loop that is contributing to the extreme warming seen in this<br />
region of the Arctic.
