Built right before the dawn of World War II. Three of Vestman island's best mountaineers climbed up the near-vertical cliff face, near the top one guy had to stand on the other's shoulders and pull the rest up as it was too high to reach the cliff edge. They then made a 'trail' down the cliff by drilling spikes and connecting them with a chain. Next, a small crane pulley system was constructed to hoist up material and supplies, the remains of that system can still be seen today...

@JeanPhilippe@techhub.social Wow, I’m trying to imagine how they built the thing without helicopters and it’s blowing my mind. Very cool

@JeanPhilippe@techhub.social Makes me wonder how it was built and how time consuming and resource demanding it must have been. Really cool.

@JeanPhilippe@techhub.social Every time I see this photo I get it mixed up with this one, which is also excellent. Different scale, but similar feat. This is Bell Island in Labrador, and the helicopter is doing Search & Rescue training/drills. Photo by David Barkes: "This photo is from 1987 when Labradors were flown form 103 Rescue Unit (CFB Gander). I still have the original negative kicking around somewhere:" https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Labrador_helicopter_landing_Bell_Island.jpg
