Chernobyl 21 years later

The reactor

Reactor 4, under its sarcophagus (left of the chimney)


You can get surprisingly close.


Reactors 5 and 6, under construction at the time, were abandoned and left to radiate.

Pripyat

Pripyat, a few kilometers from the power plant, was abandoned head over heels after the accident.


Very jetset at the time, it is now a ghost town.


Nature is slowly reconquering it.
