One of the cranes on the dockside at Pyramiden. It looks like it lifted its last load some time ago.

These were some of the living quarters at Pyramiden. There are plans to turn at least one of the blocks into a tourist hotel.

Well last time I showed you the inside of the pool. Here’s a shot from the outside. A more desolate spot for a swimming pool you would have to search a long time for. The mountain in the background gives (no surprise here) the name to the township. Pyramiden.

A shot of the now derelict swimming pool at Pyramiden. The Russians had some great facilities.
