Description
Barentsburg is the second largest settlement on Spitsbergen (Svalbard), with about 500 inhabitants (2007), almost entirely Russians and Ukrainians. The Russian-owned Arktikugol has been mining coal here since 1932 (from Wikipedia). The green dock house in the harbor on the right; picture taken in July.
