Rusting old drum at Kinnvika, Murchisonfjorden, MV Fram moored off shore, Hinlopenstretet, north Nordaustlandet, Svalbard.


Kinnvika was an old Russian trapping station. Although much is now in ruins, part of the station is still mainatained as it offers safety in bad weather and has a small airstrip. Rubbish such as this old drum is not cleared away as it is regarded as "part of the environment," "part of modern history" - make of that what you will!
