Boat Tour
Description
There are several boat tours operating from Longyearbyen that take you out to either the working Russian mining community in Barentsburg or the abandoned former Russian Mining community at Pyramiden. I took the Pyramiden tour, however at the time of visiting (late May) the fjord Ice was still too thick to allow the ship to land to visit the site on foot. The trip lasts about 9 hours and includes a tour of the templefjorden and an on-deck prepared barbeque.
