Remembering Chernobyl
Chernobyl definitely does not sound like your average tourist destination and one might be even tempted to ask, “Why Chernobyl?”
The accident happened on April 26, 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant when reactor 4 exploded. Since then, the city has become a dead zone, with only a small number of people living in houses marked with signs that say, “Owner of this house lives here”.
There’s nothing much really to see: a ghost town that has become a nature reserve…that’s it. But any traveler who chose to pay a visit to one of the loneliest places on earth will certainly feel that the trip was worth it and that it was a trip that provoked one’s mind and heart.
