Finneset is a notable site near Barentsburg in the Svalbard archipelago of Norway. Historically, it served as an important whaling station in the early 20th century. In later years, Finneset became a key location for coal mining activities, supporting the Russian-operated settlement of Barentsburg. The area is marked by its rugged Arctic landscape, featuring remnants of historical buildings and mining infrastructure.
