So I am fascinated by extreme/unique living conditions and the different ways humans manage to live. Often these are urban areas such as Pruitt Igoe or Kowloon. The newest place I’ve learned about is Norilsk, Russia, and it’s just amazing.
I know the Daily Mail is like, not a “good source” on things but it’s honestly got one of the few articles I’ve found about Norilsk that isn’t like, “Ugh welcome to the most polluted, awful place on Earth”. The article has a lot of really beautiful photos. It actually shows the citizens and talks about life there, so if you want to read that article, it’s right here:
Life in the freezer: Inside the northernmost city on Earth
If you want to see some footage, the documentary Frozen Planet (which is amazing, you should watch it regardless) has an episode about humans living in extremely cold conditions and they mention Norilsk. It’s Episode 6: “The Last Frontier”, the last episode in the series. Frozen Planet is available on Netflix, so check it out!!
