"THE CITY ABANDONED AT THE WORLDS END"
People might said that only beautiful and peaceful places are
the perfect places to be visited but for me sometime I loved to visited some
places that hide 1001 secret behind it. It just like I want to feel and believe
what they believe at that time. So, the next destination is one of the hunted
places in the world that have been called “The city abandoned at the worlds
end”.
It takes three days to Oslo, three hours by plane to a
Svalbard, Norway, five hours by an Arctic ship named as “Polar Girl” and you
will find yourself in the northern most abandoned city. PYRAMIDEN.

Today nobody lives here. Not a single citizen. This is
totally abandoned city that make the last person that left this city left this
city about fifteen years ago. So
Pyramiden looks almost untouched and it is inhabited by white bears only but
still the tourist is allow coming but visitors are not allowed to enter any
buildings without permission even if they are open. This city was built for a
Soviet enclave, so they only built house and buildings with good quality
according to Soviet standards.

Since 2007, Trust Arktikugol has been renovating the hotel
and upgrading the infrastructure in order to accommodate tourist in the old
settlement. In 2003, the Tulip hotel has been reopened to easier the visitors.
The history of
Pyramiden was start when Soviet Union buys Pyramiden in 1927. Pyramiden was
named because of the pyramid shaped mountain adjacent to the town. Pyramiden
once had a population of over 1,000 people. It was abandoned start on 10
January 1998 until 2007. This city is practically a ghost town when the citizens
leave this city in hurry and only get to bring important things. This is due to
the low rate of decay in a frigid climate that will make this abandoned city
would be visible 500 years from now.

The popularity of this place among people in this country make one director start to make the movie about this place. That movie based on true story from people that actually stay there before Pyramiden become the abandon city.
