Sam on Svalbard

Mum, Dad and I went to visit Gruve 3 (mine 3) the day before they left. Its an old mine that's no longer active, and is now used to show tourists about the history of mining on Svalbard. It was amazing to follow the coal seam deeper into the mine. We got to see a seam that had been mined, and got to crawl inside it!! The gap was only just over 1 metre thick and must have been hellish to have to work in!!! We got lots of Svalbard coal thought, mined by our own fair hands!!
