In his book The Place of No Roads, Finnish photographer Ville Lenkkeri explores Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean once home to a Soviet mining community who lived rent-free and with free food. Since the collapse of communism the coal-mining town has been largely abandoned. Lenkkeri captures perfectly the silence of the now-defunct municipal buildings, the serenity of the surrounding mountains and the dream-like isolation of the remaining few who still live there.
