Arriving on July 17th the former coalmining town has lost its original purpose (but who knows it might open the mines again)  The village was named after the American Longyear of Boston who who got that bright idea in 1906  and for the miners (many Russians) who served him a monument was erected. In spite of its only 1700 inhabitants all facilities, even a camping is there --------brrrrrrr.  There are 20 nationalities represented, amongst which Thai, of all people.
