URBEX | Abandoned preserved mine in the Arctic Circle

[@hawksbowlbound]

This needs to get picked up by a television network. So good!

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks, this was without stabilizer I usually work with, have you seen other episodes aswell? :)

[@KristinaRIO1]

I will second that!

[@Cyba_IT]

Damn, they must've been hard men to first build that place on the side of a mountain and work in it. The fact that they also worked there while part of it was burning is mind boggling. Great vid as always mate. Stay safe

[@leejamestheliar2085]

The green cans at 4:02 ,I believe that they are oxygen candles. Catalyst burned metal or chemical that produces oxygen as a product. Neat to see here. Good video, thx.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Yes, they are indeed ! Thanks for the info :)

[@nab-rk4ob]

I came to your channel from ObsoleteOddity. Thanks for letting him use your video and letting us see the inside of that French Chateau Oddy wanted to see so badly. Thanks for exploring the mine and giving history.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks! If you want to see more thrilling videos check out the “coolest episodes” playlist. Abandoned spaceshuttles, submarines and much more🤩

[@mummifiedgamer]

You're brave, I'd not explore such a dangerous place alone. Probably that's why you're there and I'm at home watching.

[@Bmk87ca]

The small metal parts with spikes on them are clips for splicing and fixing tears on conveyor belts.

One of the best adventure videos I have ever seen on KZbin. It felt like I was along for the fun and excitement. Well done.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks a lot! Check some newer episodes like a solo mission to an aircraft carrier or underground train workshop! I’m sure you’ll like those too🤩

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Thanks for watching :) There's another arctic episode coming up this week :)

[@SRay-or3nc]

This video reminds me of the hard work of coal miners! I am glad you didn't risk going in the shaft. My father, my grandfather and great grandfather all risked there lives everyday in coal mines, because that was the only way to make a good living. No one should have work like that to make others rich!

[@jmluc90]

S. Ray unless the were slaves they didn’t have to did they?

[@currymitreis9100]

@@jmluc90 sometimes it an be work in the mine or starve on the streets as it was in Germany for example in the time of the industrial revolution

[@thatisyourname]

Nice video! Good thing you didn't go into the mine shaft, coal mines are notorious for having dangerous gases that will put you to "sleep" before you even know it! If you do go in a mine bring an oxygen moniter! Cheers

[@ClaytonHartin]

Have you guys thought about going to the Kola Superdeep Borehole. Greatest depth: 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) Closed: 1995 Location: Pechengsky District Country: Russia

[@tomastetrix3754]

Many years dismantled, in 2015 or so we found just pile of metal from the original yellow tower being scrapped. But the cap with screws that closes the borehole is probably still there.

[@kiszubi123]

Love your videos guys! Keep up the good work and keep exploring!

[@patmurphy389]

I almost put an application in for the arctic for the post office there, if I had of, I would have met you!, but I didn't put the application in, although the pay was good, I just didn't want to be that far from home. Thank you so much for the video!

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Yes, we would have met because I was inside the post office a few times haha.

[@tomastetrix3754]

The second bigger mine next to this was maybe even better and the ladder to the top... Wow that was something. Hope you did not miss it and also visited it.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Got pictures of it?😄

[@t.w.3]

Seeing the Polar bear tracks in the ice when walking inside... Madness.. And the wooden floors floating on ice water.. Not too safe. Cool video though.

Goeie video man heel mooi met dat geluid van de wind en dat klappende staal! Werk brengt je naar gave plekken

[@Metalstacker]

I love Norway! What do you do for a living, is it offshore? That mine sure is bigger than it looks, the museum idea would be a good thought, as so much is in relative good shape for 50 years abandonement. Maybe the permafrost also helps preserving stuff. Great location!

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Wow m8, that sure is an interesting location, far from the beaten path!! Lol at pawprint comment hope it's not a polar bear", as in, what else? A local wearing these paw-shaped slippers to fool the tourists? ;) Would argue that it could be a nice yetee hiding spot, but unsure if they live that far up north ;) :p Thanks for the crazy amount of effort and sharing it with us! Peace

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

The polar bears do ! I also didn't believe it untill I heard the stories. There was a polar bear walking around in the city of Pyramiden when we were there (Even under our hotel) So I couldn't sneak out at night to explore offlimit buildings haha

[@polhomarkho5229]

Another great video, thank you! The lighting is so beautiful inside... Do you film with a DSLR or a movie camera? Anyway, you master the lighting and have good equilibrium to film on that ice :D thanks again for sharing!

[@BilisNegra]

Don't get it. How was the coal on fire and at the same time being extracted?

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

Guess they avoided some parts, there are different shafts... I wondered the same

[@normonsta8057]

fire kept the mine warm...

[@decay4531]

Amazing ambiance

[@adalinepowell]

Great episode!

[@Wetterchen]

Absoluty amazing

[@nicholaspatton1742]

If you had gone into the tunnels alone, I would have come to disrespect you. You made the only correct decision as I expected. Being caught down a shaft without signal = missing persons report and a dead tuber with great content who made a terrible mistake.

[@ToyotatechDK]

What a great location. Reminds of the mine on the Yukon map in the Hunter: Call of the wild

[@13opacus]

What a great place! :)

Cool explore. At 3:57 there is a cardboard box with a red label and a barcode, that looks pretty new maybe 90s? Perhaps it was just staged for photos by previous visitors but interesting.
