Pyramiden

Pyramiden, on the other hand, has none of these problems: It has been practically a ghost town since 1998.

However, Pyramiden was abandoned in 1998.

Pyramiden features similar facilities; both are built in typical post-World War II Soviet architectural and planning style and contain the world's two most northerly Lenin statues and other socialist realism artwork.

Pyramiden was closed in 1998.

Transport from Longyearbyen to Barentsburg (convert) and Pyramiden (convert) is possible by snowmobile by winter, or by ship all year round.
