The old coal cableway leading from Longyearbyen down to the harbour
one tower from the old coal cableway used to transport coal from the mines to the harbour near Longyearbyen. This tower is out in Adventdalen, some 10 km away from the town.
The old Mine 2 sits on the slopes of the valley above the town of Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen. It is still possible to explore the ruins.
