Old collapsed wooden building at Camp Mansfield settlement, Blomstrandhalvoya, Spitsbergen, Svalbard
The marble quarry and settlement for forty Scottish miners at Blomstrandhalvoya were established in 1911 by explorer and engineer Ernest Richard Mansfield (1862-1924) on behalf of his company, the Northern Exploration Co. Ltd. of London. The marble proved to be unsuitable for extraction and shipping and the whole venture was a fiasco.
