I took this photo after about an hour of hiking from the buildings in the center of this photo, up on Platåfjellet mountain right next to town.

I was there last summer. Wouldn't call it beautiful, but the roughness around the edges is wonderful.

It's basically a mining town when it comes to looks, but the surroundings couldn't be much more beautiful in its polar way. And the transition between relative civilization and utter wilderness is incredibly narrow there.
