A UNIQUE PLACE OFFERING A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE Due to the fact that Barentsburg has such an interesting and unique history, this tour offers an experience that cannot be repeated, even during a visit to a different mine. The guide goes into detail about the rich history of the mine as well as giving insight into the sometimes surprising facts about the content of the mine and her workers. It is almost like travelling into a portal; a different dimension, combining the past and present and showing a world completely different to the one above it. |
SAFETY For the tour, we offer specialized equipment including protective overalls to shield against dust, warm waterproof boots, protective gloves, a hard hat fitted with a mining lamp, and a self-rescue device for breathing assistance. Prior to commencing the tour, participants undergo a comprehensive safety briefing and confirm their acknowledgment in a designated record book. Guiding the tours are seasoned miners with extensive experience in the field. |
NOTE: for safety reason it is not allowed to use gadgets in the mine (phones, camers etc.). The guide will take pictures of you with a special camera. Please be respectful to the mine and its workers. |
