Норильск: люди, пейзажи, повседневная жизнь

Норильск — промышленный город с населением 150 тысяч человек. Второй по величине (после Мурманска) российский город за Полярным кругом.
Норильск — самый грязный город России. В городе и вокруг него множество экологических проблем (грязный воздух, кислотные дожди, загрязнение тундры, рек и озёр отходами производства) из-за горно-металлургического комбината, принадлежащего "Норникелю".
В июне 2020 года Гринпис России организовал экспедицию в Норильск. Активисты отобрали пробы загрязненной воды реки Пясина.
29 мая 21000 тонн дизельного топлива из цистерны №3 ГРЭС «Норильский никель» пролилось в ручей Далдикан в городе Норильске.

Investigative Expedition to Norilsk and to the Pyasina River in Russia (Photos)

Norilsk in Russia is the world’s northernmost city with 150,000 inhabitants and is the second largest city (after Murmansk) inside the Arctic Circle.
Norilsk is one of the only three large cities in the continuous permafrost zone. It is the most polluted city in Russia. There are a lot of ecological problems (air pollution, acid rains, smog, dumping of polluted water) due to the mining and metallurgical plants owned by Norilsk Nickel.
On the 29th of May 21000 tonnes of diesel fuel from the tank N3 of Norilsk Nickel power plant spilled into the Daldikan creek in Norilsk city.
In June, 2020 during an expedition to investigate the area, Greenpeace Russia takes samples from the Pyasina River's contaminated water.
