Location: Chernobyl, Ukraine
Reason to visit: Abandoned radioactive city
The abandoned city in northern Ukraine played host to one of the biggest unnatural disasters of the 20th century, with repercussions still visible today. On 26 April 1986, a reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, spewing radioactive fallout over a vast area and leading to the resettlement of over 300,000 people.
The now deserted city of Chernobyl remains in a state of disrepair and dereliction. Contrary to popular belief, there are no known mutations of plant or animal life. The city is now artistically documented in the works of many photographers.
