Chornobyl is a bleak and eerie place. The abandoned town, once home to workers of the nuclear power plant, is now a ghost town. Pripyat, the city closest to the plant, is a wasteland, its residents evacuated after the 1986 nuclear disaster. The disaster, the worst in history, released massive amounts of radiation into the atmosphere, rendering the area uninhabitable. Chornobyl is now a tourist attraction, but it is a chilling one. Visitors can see the damaged power plant, now a rotting hulk, and wander the abandoned streets, where the only sound is the wind whistling through the broken windows.
