“the nickle-mining town of Norilsk is not accessile by road. until the 90′s, the government provided money for people willing to work in this remote region.
but the demand for Norilsk’s nickls has faded, and unemployment and poverty has increased. Now the russian government is paying to move people out of the area. They must act quickly though. in the brutal Siberian winter, poverty is deadly”

My comment is why are the people still living and mining if the pollution is so bad. Is there a city or town call “Valek” if so how far is it from the city Norilsk,Russia.
