Colesbukta port settlement

Порт и посёлок Колсбей (трест «Арктикуголь»)
NorwayКолсбей (Колсбукта)1931–1961Transport
The settlement in Colesbukta, between Grumant and Barentsburg, was the coal shipping port of the Soviet Grumant mine owned by the Arktikugol trust. Coal was carried from the mine to the quay by a covered railway until mining ceased in 1961. A hut built in 1912 by Vladimir Rusanov's expedition survives at the entrance to the bay.
Посёлок в бухте Колсбей между Грумантом и Баренцбургом служил портом отгрузки угля советского рудника Грумант, принадлежавшего тресту «Арктикуголь». Уголь доставлялся от рудника к причалам по крытой железной дороге до прекращения добычи в 1961 году. У входа в бухту сохраняется дом, построенный в 1912 году экспедицией Владимира Русанова.
