      This is a really interesting collectio of historical imags. The colour treatment gives them an interesting aesthitic quality.

      100 years later
      Camping at 78N
      Tourists still visit Spitsbergen.

      A little further west along the Adventfjord, but partly the same mountain-view
      as seen in the postcard of the tourist's house here above.
