LINKS:
http://www.arktiskebilleder.dk/siulleq/album/samling_1000063_75.html

Lots of pictures from greenland and Maarmorilik especiality the pages 75 to 83.
You can find pictures from construction time, where people get their food onboard the ship  C.D.Grove until the mine was closed in 1990.

http://www.arktiskebilleder.dk/siulleq/album/sted_1161202_1.html Nearly as the link before, but only pictures from Maarmorilik - also from the time where the marple-mine was in action in the 1940'ies.
