Advent City
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Advent City is an abandoned settlement located on the east side of Adventfjorden on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. It served as a coal mining camp from 1904 to 1917 operated by Spizbergen Coal and Trading Company Limited of Sheffield, United Kingdom. A single mess was built the first year, but additional buildings followed in 1905, including a bakery and two streets. All remaining buildings were moved to Hiorthhamn in 1916 and 1917.[1]
