We have been looking at this mine since we first saw it the day we came wanting to go up here...even if it's not actually allowed to go up here. But I am too curious and can't stay away. Mine 2 b was in operation between 1937 and 1968. Now it is a protected cultural heritage. Also today is our last day here on Svalbard. I would want to come back in winter time. Later today we are flying back to Oslo to stay with Terje and Anne Marit and Rebecca is also coming!
