Kings Bay AS contractors replace the foundation of Butikken building, the town store, after it was damaged by thawing permafrost in Ny-Aalesund, Svalbard, Norway, April 5, 2023. Within the last decade, four buildings have been damaged by thawing permafrost, and last year Kings Bay SA, the state-owned company that manages the town, had to close down a laboratory where scientists processed samples from fish snow and ice due to thaw cracking its foundation.
