Svalbard & Jan Mayen Islands Coal cableway centre
Coal cableway centre (Taubanesentralen).
The old coal cableway centre, locally known as Taubanesentrale, is one of Longyearbyen’s most prominent landmarks. It looks futuristic, but it is a symbol of a history that is about to lose its connection to the present, as coal mining is getting less and less important in Longyearbyen.
