Norilsk, a mining city in Siberia. The sun does not rise for about 40 days in the winter and the average temperature is -40 to 50 degrees Celsius. It is an extremely polluted city due to the mining of various minerals and the reckless expansion of factory facilities. In particular, air pollution is the worst, with air pollution twice that of Moscow, which has a population 50 times higher. A place where it is difficult to see sunlight even when the sun shines, and the cancer incidence rate among residents is more than twice the average. It was created as a forced labor camp during the Stalin era and foreigners are still not allowed to visit. However, 180,000 people still call this barren place their hometown.
