Bottle Shop Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

Geocache Description:

Hidden north of Pyramiden (The Pyramid), a Soviet mining town about 50 km north of Longyearbyen on Svalbard that was abandoned in 1998.
The terrain is actually really simple, but involves a snowmobile trip of several hours, thus the high rating.

The general location is quite obvious if you do some research about Pyramiden, but might be a little tricky once you're there. Quite a lot of possible hiding places...
Some long and thin tool can be useful to get it out of its hole (or a piece of double-sided tape on the end of a finger).
Cache is a plastic medicine canister, about 3 inches high, covered in silvery tape and an official geocache label.
Contains micro log, geocache note in English and Russian, a pencil (no sharpener) and a small trade item.
Easily accessible by winter when you can drive snowmobile all the way. On summer you travel by boat to the docks at Pyramiden, then it's about 3 km to the site.
