Great tour in English from the City Centre. Informative and just the right length (2hrs). The guide was well briefed and the exhibitions and museum completed the experience.
我们对于这里很感兴趣,于是就决定前来参观。我们是坐巴士去的,整体的体验非常不错。不过行程本身感觉有点像是LKAB公司的大力广告宣传。尽管如此,价格还是很值的,而且组织得很有序,受益良多。
The visit is really interesting, and it is really impressive too ! No spoiler so no more details, but if you are in Kiruna you really have to do this ! Quite cheap also, but be careful, only on Monday, Wednesday and friday.
It is presented the history of the mining and it is impressive. It is a big area, and it is a unique chance to be in an iron mine for a couple of hours. The smell is surprisingly nice for being surrounded by iron and kilometers under the surface of earth.
要游览矿井,你必须提前预定,还得很幸运地有另外14个人也提前预定了矿井之旅,不然这趟旅行就得取消了。很不幸的是,在我们住宿期间没能去矿井探险。
We were really looking forward to the trip to the Iron Ore mine and booked our trip for Boxing day 2014 - a particularly busy time of year for all tours and trips in Kiruna. We waited at the designated place outside the tourist information centre with may other people who had booked. The coach arrived and we waited for a further 20 minutes in temps of -20. We were then told that the trip had been cancelled due to illness of the guide. It seems very poor that over the busiest time of year, the mine were unable to find another guide . We were unable to go the following day as we were due to fly out.
Did not realise the importance of the mine before our visit, found it very interesting, how it has & how it will affect Kiruna.
We were excited to see parts of the mine, and learn about how it works. While you do get to go down into the mine and listen to interesting facts, you are limited to a very small tourist-specific area and information as scripted for the guide. Understanding there are safety issues, it could have been fun to have at least more of simulation of what working in the mine is (or was) actually like. It mainly felt like just being in a chilly museum, wearing a hard hat. The guide was alright, but couldn't always be heard, and could answer only very few of the questions from the group. The very first part of the tour is a 15 minute propaganda video about the company, which was pretty hard to stomach, but it got better after that.
这是我们第一次参观矿区,实在是非常棒的体验。这家公司在这里挖矿有140多年的历史了,我们开车过来用了20分钟。导游非常棒,知识很丰富,而且令我们惊奇的是矿区的设施非常齐全,有教室、食堂、博物馆以及很多展示矿区历史的展览,以及铁矿是如何应用到我们的日常生活中的。这里非常干净,而且通风良好,完全不会有你所想象的幽闭感。
Very interesting tour, learnt alot about the working mine and their environmental impact and how they strive to get the best iron ore from the mine.
