The ghost town in the Arctic

The ghost town of Pyramiden on Svalbard once was a Soviet coal mining settlement on the soil of a NATO member state - a geopolitical anomaly that has its roots in the Treaty of Svalbard from 1920. It was abandoned in 1998, but has gained renewed attention in the wake of the Russian war on Ukraine.

About Artist

Olaf Düber

Amateur photographer with an interest in fascinating and remote landscapes and dystopian lost places. Especially the combination of both give me photographical joy and inspiration by conveying a feeling of being lost not only in time but also in space.
