EDITORS COMMENTS

Lead Mine and Cryolite, in Arksul Ford, 1856" is a captivating photograph by H. Crane that offers a glimpse into the past of Arsuk Fiord, Greenland. The image depicts a bustling mining scene, with miners at work extracting lead ore from the mine and transporting it over the icy surface towards a waiting ship. The quaint, wooden houses of the miners and their essential structures, such as the smithy and storehouse, are nestled amidst the snow-covered landscape. The Danish Government had granted permission to a Danish Association to explore and work mines in Arsuk Fiord, bestowing upon them the monopoly of all mines and mineral wealth they discovered for a specified term of years. An expedition was dispatched under the leadership of Mr. Tayler, who commenced working the vein of silver-lead ore. Arsuk Fiord gained renown among mineralogists as the sole location in the world where the mineral cryolite had been found. Cryolite, a white mineral consisting of sodium aluminum and fluorine, was described as a promising discovery, as it would likely play a significant role in the future production of aluminum. This photograph is an intriguing snapshot of history, providing a glimpse into the mining industry's past and the discovery of valuable minerals in Arsuk Fiord. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the daily life of miners and the importance of their work in the context of the broader scientific and industrial developments of the mid-19th century.
