Colesbukta is an abandoned Russian settlement in Svalbard. It served as the port for Grumant, a nearby coal mine that was connected to it by railway, until the mines were closed in the 1960s.

While not protected by the cultural heritage law of Svalbard, the settlement will likely remain as is. It is likely that eventually it will be protected as well.
