Pyramiden is a coalmining town in the Arctic Circle, which has been abandoned for over 20 years. Located in the Svalbard archipelago, between Norway and Greenland, the settlement was acquired by the Soviet Union in the 1920s, and grew to about 1,000 inhabitants in its heyday after World War II.
But after the fall of the Soviet Union, the coal mining operation started to dwindle, and Russia no longer supported the settlement, which was abandoned in 1998.
Many facilities and landmarks still remain, including what are believed to be the northernmost monument to Lenin, the northernmost swimming pool, and the northernmost grand piano, which is inside an auditorium.
