Pripyat, Ukraine (20/20)

Pripyat, the city most closely associated with the Chernobyl disaster, was abandoned in 1986 after a catastrophic nuclear accident at the nearby power plant. Once a thriving Soviet town, Pripyat now stands eerily silent, its streets lined with overgrown trees, abandoned playgrounds, and decaying buildings. Despite the danger from radiation, visitors are allowed to explore certain areas, and the city remains a poignant reminder of the disaster.
