BBC | Chernobyl: The end of a three-decade experiment
Rural unguarded road leads into the Exclusion Zone, Chernobyl, Ukraine.
You can see a portion of the massive 150 meter tall Soviet Duga radar array straight ahead.
The Exclusion Zone is slowly changing. Investors are buying hectares to plant solar farms. Animal life is thriving. I snuck into the Zone once with Nadezhda, a local guide. A surreal experience.
