Some photos of Norilsk

Friends, I suggest you see a few photos of the city in which I live. It is located behind the Arctic Circle at 69 parallels.

This is a very unusual city, with its own characteristics. There live mainly workers of metallurgical plants Norilsk Nickel.

Winter lasts 9 months, polar night - 45 days, but the sun can not be seen for almost 2 months. Norilsk is also included in the top 10 most polluted cities in Russia, there is a very bad ecology.

The population makes about 120 thousand people, the city itself is in the tundra and has no associated roads with other cities. You can get here only by plane, the distance to Moscow is about 3,500 kilometers.

The average salary for employees is about $ 1200 per month. There are often snow storms and severe frost down to -55 celsius. It's hard to say why people live here, for some it's a lifestyle, for others it's the romance of the northern lights.

With the best wishes, @gleb-jeglov aka Evgeny
