Summary[edit]
DescriptionGraveyard of Longyearbyen, Svalbard, below coal mine no.1.jpg |
English: On Svalbard it is forbidden to bury deceased people, because the permafrost ground will eventually bring up the corpses to the surface. Until 1950 deceased natives were laid to rest in this graveyard below coal mine no. 1. After a group of scientists, who intended to do research on the Spanish influenza of local coalminers disintered corpses and found them to lay close to the surface, funerals on Svalbard ground were prohibited.
Deutsch: Auf Spitzbergen ist das Beerdigen Verstorbener seit den 1950er Jahren verboten. Als im Jahre 1950 Wissenschaftler die Spanische Grippe an verstorbenen einheimischen Kohlegruben-Arbeitern untersuchen wollten, stellten sie fest, dass die begrabenen Leichen durch den Permafrost bis dicht unter die Oberfläche gehoben worden waren. Seitdem sind Begräbnisse auf dem Boden Spitzbergens nicht mehr erlaubt. Einheimische werden inzwischen auf dem norwegischen Festland beigesetzt. |
