Description
Summary:Today, the former English mining settlement of Advent City in Adventfjorden, Svalbard, is in ruins. Many of its buildings still exist at nearby Hiorthhamn in their original state. In summer 2016, a team of archaeologists carried out a high-resolution topographic survey at Advent City as well as detailed photographic recording at Hiorthhamn. With the funding from the Svalbard Environmental Protection Fund (project ID 16/64), a team of archaeologists, surveyors, and software developers of the eScience-Center at Tübingen University joined the dots: they made the 3D reconstruction and visualisation of Advent City possible.
