  • 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.
