je vois que vous êtes allé en France pendant 4 ans.. alors j'en profite ;) angle de vue saisissant, impressionnant, inquietant.. on ne peut plus explicite.. bravo Stephane
Bonsoir Flo. Comme je disais a Angela, c'est un endroit tres special et extremement pollue. De toute facon c'est au milieu de la Toundra. Je crois qu'il y a une ligne de chemin de fer qui rejoind la mer vers le nord, sinon il faut prendre l'avion (pas de routes). Dans environ 50 ans, quand les reserves de minerai seront epuisees, tout le monde partira et la Nature reprendra la dessus. Mais combien de temps cela va prendre?? Ca sera a ce moment loin de tout et personne ne s'en souciera.
Wow! such a high contrast! Beautiful image and horrible place. Intersting contrast.
Horrible and special place as not many people get to go there. It is even closed for Russians... The smoke coming out is sulfur-rich, and the taste gets in your mouth. If you want to know more, please read this:
