• The east side of Green Harbor, Svalbard. The Arctic Coal Company's bunkhouse and shed is visible on the hill above the harbor. The company's mine 1, of Tract 2 (Green Harbor), was on the slopes above the bunkhouse. A section of the Green Harbor Coal Co.'s aerial tramway is visible on the right-hand side of the photograph.
