    Did you meet the bears? If so, perhaps you could ask them to be your ESA as Brian Cohen from The Gate did in Canada…..

    Love this collection of posts. Minor typo (rifles).
    Enlightening. Looking at getting up there sometime.
    Sometimes city folk don’t get us country folk.
    Firearms in isolated areas are a necessity. NRA or no NRA.
    In urban areas… A lot more complicated. Depends on which side you are.

    Ha, that reminds me of the time a friend with connections in the forest department arranged for a night’s stay at a lodge deep inside a tiger reserve in India. We were warned not to walk outside at night because tigers roamed the woods around the lodge. (The lodge overlooked a watering hole where deer, elk, and other tiger prey would congregate.) The tiger wouldn’t have gotten much of a meal out of me, but still…

    This place looks truly fascinating. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Extremely interesting photos. This place must have given you a good glimpse of what life was like in the Soviet Union and the Eastern Block. I am surprised at all the furniture and other stuff that was left behind when it was abandoned. Longyearbyen and Pyramiden are now definitely near the top of my list of places I have to see in my life. Thanks for these fascinating photos.

      My pleasure. I also answered your question on the OSL-LYR post — sorry I did not see it earlier.

    Matt, which company did you do Pyramiden with? I’m desperate to overnight there. Most companies I see do 2 hours…2 Hours!! I have also heard horror stories about trips not happening for varying reasons. I take it you had no probs, what time of year did you go. Cheers mate! Lee

      I did it on my own. You have to book the hotel yourself then just tell the boat company you are staying overnight and will return the next day.
