Excursion to the russian settlements on Svalbard

 
Our excursions for the Arctic environmentla pollution course brought us to the main point pollution sources up here: Pyramiden and Barentsburg
 
 
Lenin statue in Pyramiden, and abandoned russian settlement...

... which seems to fall apart

the main problem is still a pollution with PCB

But we also found other sources. the whole vegetable storage halls were filled by leaquing barrels with strange black stuff.

our environmental pollution group

the trip to barentsburg, a still operating russian mining settlement brought us on a tourist ship along Esmarkbreen...

...where we saw some bearded seals

in Barentsburg a nice green cover of plant welcomes us ... probably most invasious

the mining railway in Barentsburg
