    Pyramiden is a ghost town on Svalbard (Norway), way north in the Atlantic Ocean, named after the nearby, pyramid-shaped mountain. A former Russian settlement and coal mining community, it was abandoned apparently in a hurry in 1998, leaving behind stuff like a “Red October” grand piano in the cultural centre auditorium, and an empty swimming pool with lane ropes still attached.
