However advanced technology may be, accidents do still happen. A great example is the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Similar to the Chernobyl incident, Fukushima is also off-limits after the nuclear accident, caused by a 15-meter tsunami. Considering the accident was fairly recent, the bilk of these places are still prohibited, especially the area around the nuclear reactors. In case you are mind-boggled about what it may have looked like after the accident, Polish photographer Natalia Sobanska did a photography documentary about the situation.

Norilsk
Russia is home to countless closed cities, that are off-limits to visitors from all over the world. Being the biggest country in the world, we are not stunned that there are hidden places that we may have never heard of before. One of the more popular cities is Norilsk, a city located above the Arctic Circle in Siberia. Known to be the world’s greatest producer of palladium, nickel, platinum, and copper, as well as for its poor pollution. Due to the sufficient resources, it is restricted to non-residents. But, if you can make it there that is as Norilsk is cut off from the rest of the country. Perhaps you may be interested in what life there looks like, then go take a look at stunning photographs from Russian photographer Elena Chernyshova.
