It all started with black gold
During summer of 1610, the famous English whaler, Jonas Poole was on a mission to Spitsbergen to harvest whales, walruses and seals. When he reached far north-west on the island, Poole sailed east into a majestic fjord, which he named --the Kings fjord. One day while he is walking on the shore, Poole finds and picks up a stone from the ground. He is studying it carefully and realizes that he has found a piece of black gold - coal. 300 years later the mines are built and the town becomes alive. City of Arctic legends The found of coal is the beginning of numerous Arctic legends that will connect to this place. Ny-Ålesund get put on the map when the town become headed for a world-famous competition between Norway, Italy and United States. Who will be the first in the world to fly over the North Pole by airship and win the pole? Tragical, the trophy that was supposed to be a symbol of courage, endurance and winning, ends with a big loss. Arctic expeditions? Join our skiing expedition |
