These photos were taken in Pyramiden during my trip.The day before departure from Longyearbean I realized that Pyramiden was closed in 1998 and has since remained largely abandoned with most of its infrastructure and buildings still in place. Pyramiden has a great past and once had over 1，000 inhabitants. After 20 years，I'm very curious how is has changed.What makes Pyramiden became a ghost town?What's the feelings when the past settlers get back?As a third man，I'd like to tell what I have seen.
