Ny-London

The former industrial site contains remnants of mining equipment, buildings, and railway tracks spread across the limestone-rich peninsula of Blomstrandhalvøya.

The Northern Exploration Company established this quarry in the early 1900s, aiming to extract marble for construction before abandoning operations in 1920.

The site represents early industrial ventures in the Arctic, reflecting the determination of mining companies to extract resources in extreme northern conditions.

Visitors can reach Ny-London by boat during summer months when the fjord waters are clear of ice, with guided tours available from nearby settlements.

The quarry structures remain preserved by the cold Arctic climate, creating a stark contrast between industrial remnants and the natural Arctic landscape.
