Pyramiden Пирамида

Pyramiden is a russian mining town which once had a population of over 1,000 inhabitants,[1] but was abandoned on 10 January 1998 by its owner, the state-owned Russian company Arktikugol Trust. It is now a ghost town. Within the buildings, things remain largely as they were when the settlement was abandoned in a hurry. The place is about to re-open as a turist attraction. I went on a boat trip to Pyramiden and because the danger of polar bears, I had to stick to the group and there were no time for recordings. These recordings are from outside the Wodka bar at the Hotel, where thousends of Kittiwakes had sqatted one of the abandonned buildings.
