I found Elena’s story of riding her motorcycle through the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the area surrounding the nuclear plant that has been largely evacuated and abandoned, absolutely spellbinding. The photographs are amazing. As Elena notes, probably the closest analog is the way Pompeii was frozen when Etna erupted. But she didn’t have to dig anything out to travel through this time capsule (via JOHO the Blog).
