The PBS series Nature produced a show called “Radioactive Wolves”. The show concerns itself with the wildlife which survived the Chernobyl disaster. The disaster was equivalent to 400 atomic bombs and the vast area is forever off bounds to human habitation and visitation. But it is not off limits to scientists who study the natural recovery of the vast northern area. This production has been the most thrilling, the most interesting and the most satisfying experience I have viewed in my entire life. It is unsafe for humans to ever again live there but nature has reestablished itself (with human help with the wild horse). The photography is amazing as cities are completely returning to nature as are most all animal and plant species that have lived in this part of northern Europe for the past 10,000 years.
