đłđŽ Randi Solvang er et ungt talent innen konkurranseskyting, og vi er heldige som fĂ„r fĂžlge satsingen hennes. I Ă„r er Gruvelageret og Svalbard Explorer stolt sponsor og gleder seg til Ă„ heie henne fram!
Randi er Hedlys barnebarn, og selv om hun fortsatt er ung, viser hun allerede imponerende fokus, stÄ-pÄ-vilje og gode resultater.
Vinterfelt er veldig gÞy, synes hun, og hun har allerede hatt flere seire og gode pallplasseringer pÄ stevnene hun til nÄ har deltatt i.
Med flere konkurranser i vente, og banesesongen som nÄ begynner for fullt, ligger det an til en spennende tid fremover. Blant annet venter Nordnorsk Mesterskap og Landskytterstevnet pÄ Lesja i sommer.
Det er skikkelig inspirerende Ä se hvor mye engasjement og disiplin Randi legger ned i satsingen sin. Vi er veldig glade for Ä kunne stÞtte henne pÄ veien videre, og gleder oss til Ä fÞlge med pÄ alt hun fÄr til i Är. Vi kommer ogsÄ til Ä dele mer om satsingen hennes fremover.
Lykke til, Randi! Gruvelageret og Svalbard Explorer heier pĂ„ deg đ€
đŹđ§ Randi Solvang is a young talent in competitive shooting, and we feel grateful to follow her journey. This year, Gruvelageret and Svalbard Explorer are happy to support and cheer her on along the way!
Randi is Hedlyâs granddaughter. Although she is still very young, she already shows impressive focus, motivation and strong results.
She finds winter field shooting really fun, and she has already earned several wins and strong podium finishes in the competitions she has taken part in so far.
With more competitions ahead, an exciting season awaits. This summer, Randi is preparing for the Northern Norwegian Championship and Landskytterstevnet at Lesja.
Itâs inspiring to see so much passion, discipline, and hard work at such a young age. Weâre very happy to support Randi on her journey and canât wait to follow everything she accomplishes this year.
Good luck, Randi! Everyone at Gruvelageret and Svalbard Explorer are rooting for you đ€

Gruvelageret hosted a pop-up by our chef Manish, marking his farewell before returning to his home country, India. âNow, I want to continue my journey by bringing people together around a table and telling stories through my own pop-up dinners,â Manish said, dropping a hint.
Pravaas â the Indian cuisine pop-up â took guests on a journey across India: from Kashmirâs shirmal kulcha with morels and kalari, to Amritsari fish fry from Punjab, vibrant Delhi chaat, comforting moringa soup from Madhya Pradesh, and a Maharashtra thali with bhakri, mutton and rice. The menu continued south with scallops balchao, jackfruit idichatthu with coconut and parotta, and bold North East flavours of akuni, pork and bamboo shoot, before ending with jamun sorbet, mangoâfig dessert, and handmade petit fours.
The journey was appetizing, colourful and refreshing. It was long â as it takes time to travel across the regions of such a big and diverse country!

âHome is wherever we are at this momentâ â do you agree? You surely have met them. Or perhaps they are your dear friends?
The Gruvelageret team works together like a dance. It is never one personâs win or one personâs failure. It is always a team, no matter how independent everyone may be.
Gruvelageret people know this, and they mostly feel at home in Svalbard.
In the video, we only show those who have been working full-time in the back and front of house. There are more people to show, such as General Manager Kristin and Owner Steve who restored Gruvelageret and gave this place the direction it has today. And there is Hedly, who makes sure everything works behind the scenes. There are also people who work extra, or who worked full-time before and contributed to the growth of this place. Or people who contributed to designing Gruvelageret by gifting us collected artefacts from old coal mining times.
If youâd like, follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more. We are sharing stories and reels that not only present who is working at and developing Gruvelageret, but also, in parallel, tell the coal mining-related history behind it.
We are part of the history overall, and history does not have a full stop â we are in charge of it every second by adding something nice to the town we call home for now.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Meet the chefs of Gruvelageretâš: Head Chef Max, Chef Kacper, and Chef Manish. How do they describe themselves â not only as chefs, but as people?
Head Chef Max: "For me, Gruvelageret is about both exploring flavors and creating a great working environment. In my opinion, the hardest part of being a head chef is remaining professional while staying humble, and I believe that is what makes a good manager. At work, I try to be well organized, plan ahead, work hard, and stay creative and passioned. I also try to share my experience while encouraging Kacper and Manish to explore their own ideas and contribute to creating new dishes.."
Chef Kacper: "I would describe myself as hardworking, reliable, and always on time. I try to be a bit of a sunshine (saying it while smilingđ) in the kitchen with a positive attitude, good energy, and a smile, even during busy service."
Chef Manish: "I'm a chef from India, exploring the world! Iâm someone who chases intensity, meaning, and growth â whether through food, adventure or sports!"
Experience their craft firsthand in every dish at Gruvelageret. âš

Etter 4. mai 2026 har den nye gruveskulpturen ved Gruvelageret fĂ„tt en ny tyngde. âš After 4 May 2026, Gruvelageretâs minersâ sculpture carries a new weight.
I oktober 2025 markerte Gruvelageret sitt 10-Ärsjubileum med Ä avduke en skulptur av tidligere gruvearbeider Hedly Daleng og tidligere Store Norske-direktÞr Robert Hermansen, sittende sammen pÄ en benk. Hedly har nÄ jobbet for Svalbard Explorers Gruvelageret i over ti Är, og sÞrger for at alt fungerer teknisk og praktisk slik det skal.
Den 4. mai 2026, da lyset ble slukket i Gruve 7 for godt, fikk skulpturen en enda dypere betydning â to gruvefolk som hviler utenfor Gruvelageret, mens fjellene selv fĂ„r hvile.
Skulpturen ble bestilt av eier Steve Daldorff Torgersen. Han tok initiativ til prosjektet i forbindelse med 10-Ärsjubileet og samarbeidet med kunstner Odd JÞrgensen, som lagde skulpturen etter Þnsket om at den «skulle vare evig».
âš EN:
In October 2025, Gruvelageret marked its 10-year anniversary by unveiling a sculptur of former miner Hedly Daleng and former Store Norske director Robert Hermansen sitting together on a bench. Hedly has now worked for Svalbard Explorerâs Gruvelageret for more than 10 years, making sure everything functions technically and practically as it should.
On 4 May 2026, when the lights were shut off in Mine 7 / Gruve 7, the sculpture became even more symbolic â two mining figures resting outside Gruvelageret, while the mountain itself was permanently closed down.
The sculpture was commissioned by Steve Daldorff Torgersen, the owner of Gruvelageret. He initiated the project as part of the restaurantâs 10-year anniversary in October 2025 and worked with artist Odd JĂžrgensen, who created the sculpture according to the wish that it âshould last foreverâ (nor. «skulle vare evig»).
By sharing a little of this history in both Norwegian and English, we hope to keep the curiosity alive: about Longyearbyenâs mining past, and about the people who made it what it is. Many of them are still here with us in town, carrying stories, knowledge and spirit we are lucky to have around.
