From mysterious buildings; to strange and creepy locations; these are 11 REMOTE Abandoned Places Around The World ! Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 4. Port Lockroy Port Lockroy is another research station on the Antarctic Peninsula and anything on this continent is quite remote. A naturally forming bay was discovered in 1904, which was used for whaling originally and would help whalers restock on supplies. During World War II the British actually attempted to establish a military base here but we all know how antarctica is quite inhospitable. This was part of Operation Tabarin which would allow them to establish bases in the remote areas of antarctica since they were worried other countries were already doing it. A military base here turned out to be too costly and somewhat pointless and finally in the 1960’s it was turned into a research station. The buildings have lost their original purpose and some have been transformed into museums. Tourists are allowed to visit this site but not allowed to go too much further. 3. Abandoned House, Norway This abandoned house we see here in this photo was posted on reddit and appears to be from Hemsedal valley, in the southern area of Norway. There’s not a whole lot that’s known about this exact house however it appears to be an abandoned cabin The area experiences a large amount of tourism especially from skiers. Some houses in Scandinavia are known for putting sod on their roofs in order to keep them a little bit warmer during winter. Is it possible that some of the sod contained some seeds to a pine tree? What’s interesting about this photo is that it’s in a field of grass and not somewhere in the mountains, but yet there’s a few trees randomly growing through the roof. Maybe someone decided to put some trees on the roof for decoration. Whatever the case maybe, the house is quite mysterious and is a good example of how nature reclaims her territory once man has left. 2. Sewell Chile Completely surrounded by the Chilean Andes mountains, this remote abandoned place is found at an altitude of over 6000 feet, making it quite difficult to access. It was founded in 1906 by the braden Copper company in order to extract copper ore from the mountains. By 1915, the town was well organized with the addition of a hospital, a fire department and a social club. Building were mostly made of timber and were displayed with bright colors like we see here. The large town grew up to 12,000 people in 1918 and at it’s peak in the 1960’s that number grew to 16,000 people. Also known as the city of staircases, it’s built on the side of a mountain which certainly made transportation by car a little bit tricky. It turned out that staircases were the best way for inhabitants to get around. In 1967 the decline began when the kennecott copper company lost ownership of the site and the Argentinian government sought to control the land. Plus most people were beginning to move to other locations where more copper was being found. The chilean government decided to keep the city as a ghost town and it’s now a unesco world heritage site. You can actually explore this place quite well on google maps. Alot of the buildings still look to be in good condition but you can tell no one’s living there. 1.Pyramiden Possibly the most remote and the most abandoned place in the world, would have to be the settlement of Pyramiden located on the Norwegian territory of Svalbard! If you take a look at Svalbard on the map, you tell it’s really not close to much of anythingThe soviet arctic ghost town was once prosperous due to large coal deposits in the area but now that the coal is gone since 1998, so are the people. However, Norway has been hoping to turn this into somewhat of a tourist attraction. Not being situated to far from the regional capital of Longyearbyen, it’s a quick hour ride by snowmobile or a few hours by dogsled. If you do decide to come here be sure to dress warm and try not to get too spooked out by all the abandoned things here!
