Longyearbyen
to Coals Bay
So as it is now crunch time with mid semester tests and
reports coming out of our ears there is not much to report, but those of us in
Arctic technology where lucky enough to have a long weekend and so decided to
use our 3 days by hiking out to Coals bay, highlighted in red on the map above.
The map show’s where we are Longyearbyen we took a car out to the Bjodalen and
walked the 20 odd km to the cabin. This cabin is situated on an old Russian
minors track in between Graymont and coals bay. It also happens to be one of
the best maintained cabins I have stayed in with the furthest North museum
attached to it. We spent the rest of the weekend walk into and around the bay
exploring the abandoned village before making our way back on the Sunday arriving
back to a very snow covered Lonyearbyen with water proofs that had long given
up being water proof. Below are a few pictures:
