Description
Summary:The power station of a British coal mine was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century and was only in operation for a few years. The power station was extremely innovative for its time and probably not very mature, so that the plant was left behind at the mine site and was not used elsewhere. Even today there are still crates of packed spare parts on the beach. The increasing thawing of the ground due to the particularly drastic climatic change on Svalbard will cause the power plant to disappear completely in the coming years.
