Pripyat, Ukraine
You might have heard of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, but you might not have heard of the Ukrainian city that was the most impacted by it. Pripyat experienced a significant amount of radiation in the 1986 disaster to the point where the city’s residents had to immediately evacuate. Everything was left as it was and it is a time capsule of that horrible time, frozen in time.
