Chernobyl Tourism

Apparently the way you recondition nuclear fall-out zones is by increasing tourism in the areas worst affected. I have to admit that I am drawn to this idea. The spooky modern abandonment...

It reminds me of a fascinating internet photo-log of a Russian woman's commute through the Dead Zone on her motorcycle. Meet Elena here for a fascinating read about living with Chernobyl.

Yeah. I stumbled along Elena's trips a couple years ago on a random search for Chernobyl and she's been ingrained in my mind for a long time. The spooky atmosphere, her near-bombastic, yet measured attitude...

I think the only reason I posted this story was as an excuse to post that link; although she might not need the extra help getting hits! But yeah, what really struck me about the tourism in the area was trying to place cameras and fannypacks in her haunted environment...
