Description

Today, the former English mining settlement of Advent City in Adventfjorden, Svalbard, is in ruins. Many of its buildings still exist at nearby Hiorthhamn in their original state.
In summer 2016, a team of archaeologists carried out a high-resolution topographic survey at Advent City as well as detailed photographic recording at Hiorthhamn.
With the funding from the Svalbard Environmental Protection Fund (project ID 16/64), a team of archaeologists, surveyors, and software developers of the eScience-Center at Tübingen University joined the dots: they made the 3D reconstruction and visualisation of Advent City possible.
