In Advent City, on the north side of Adventfjord opposite the airport, an attempt was made to mine coal in the early 20th century by an American company. The attempt was not successful, and not much remains to be seen today.

Tellbreen (-glacier) is one of many glaciers between Adventdalen and Sassenfjord. As many other glaciers, it has glacial caves: meltwater channels that fall dry during the winter. Some of them are easy to access and offer amazing insight into the interiour of a glacier. Care needs to be taken, however: these caves can obviously be extremely slippery and may suddenly drop down very steeply.

As the name suggests, Hyperittfossen is a waterfall cascading down over cliffs of basalt-like rocks. During the winter, the waterfall is frozen to a column of ice.

Colesdalen is an important „valley crossing“ in Nordenskiöld Land: no less than 6 valleys feed into Colesdalen. It is, for example, a regular part of the overland route between Longyearbyen and Barentsburg. In summer, it has one of the greenest and richest vegetation areas of Spitsbergen, with large tundra, wetland and swamp areas.

Semmeldalen is one of many ice-free valleys in central Nordenskiöld Land. South of it is the huge valley Reindalen and then Van Mijenfjord.

View from the pass south of Tavlebreen, south of Grøndalen (east of Grønfjord): typical scenery of Nordenskiöld Land with ice-free valleys, smaller glaciers and beautiful mountains.

Upper Fridtjovbreen, not far from the pass that is leading to Austre Grønfjordbreen.
