Wheels of Misfortune

Svalbard, 2016

 

Abandoned equipment at New London, a former mining town built by the Northern Exploration Company, an English venture that in 1911 opened a marble quarry on Svalbard amid much fanfare. The company crumbled when the marble turned out to be held together by permafrost which disintegrated upon leaving the Arctic.
