Damien Aubin Photographs Pyramiden, Svalbard's Frozen Soviet Ghost Town

Damien Aubin travelled to Pyramiden on Svalbard, a Soviet-era coal mining settlement abandoned in 1998 and remarkably well-preserved by the Arctic cold. The series captures interiors and landscapes largely unchanged since the evacuation: school desks with books still open, a Lenin statue, and weathered industrial structures against a white landscape. A limited-edition book compiling work across Pyramiden, Barentsburg, and Longyearbyen is due in September.
