Night Settles In Desolate North Towns Of Spitzbergen
Night has fallen over Spitzbergen in Svalbard as winter approaches. Most coal towns will be deserted due to low prices and output cuts, with Kings Bay sending 340 operatives home and only a few watchmen remaining. Green Harbour and Gragansa Bay will see limited activity, while the Great Northern Coal Company plans 400 workers and 15,000 tons monthly. The Oslo government abandoned mail plane plans, and spring will bring resumed mining under Norwegian control. For the first time, the west coast is fully charted after 20 years, based on a government cartographic expedition returning to Tromsoe with final hydrographic data from Farm.
