Lucky we live in the tropics, where the sun shines every day of the year. The sunlight itself has many benefits, so our bodies are always healthy and away from diseases.
Sub-tropical regions and poles, is one of the areas that are usually at certain moments never get the benefit of sunlight. But what if there were areas that were never 'touched' the sunlight for two months?
Perhaps you would be hard to imagine living in such extreme areas. Even this area is cooler than your silence in the freezer. Then what are like the people who live there? Here's his review.
It is also a city that has a wealth of very surprising - the reason for the existence of a town called Norilsk. Located about 250 miles from north of the Arctic Circle, the city has the largest deposits of nickel, copper and palladium on earth.
Even the mining area have started to expand its settlements up to Siberia in 1935, and during the next 20 years, 500,000 laborers will take part in the construction. However it turns out, there are thousands of lives for the sake of the development.
Norilsk itself is the northernmost city on Earth and including the city's most extreme. The average temperature is 10 C in summer and -55 C in winter are endless.
For two months, the whole city was only there a night, when people persist in near total darkness, Norilsk encased in snow for eight to nine months in a year.
For activities, such as sports shopping and social gatherings, carried out in the apartment.
Children there also was forced to spend several months in the room, so the city has a large building, where they can enjoy activities such as cycling and walking during the winter.
Norilsk was first inhabited in the early 1900s, after the discovery of a very rich mineral deposits, formed 250 million years ago, in the foothills of Putorana
In 1935, the Soviet Union began to build a metallurgical complex to extract this material in the Arctic wilderness.
After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the city is still growing. And Norilsk is now a world leader in the production of nickel and palladium. And contributed two percent of Russian GDP.
Norilsk consistently be the 10 most polluted cities on Earth. Every year, more than 2 million tons of gas (mainly sulfur dioxide, but also nitrous oxide, carbon and phenol) discharged into the atmosphere.
Life expectancy is 10 years lower in other regions of Russia. The cancer risk was twice as high, as well as other respiratory diseases.
Coupled with the total darkness that causes a decrease in the release of the hormone melatonin, which regulates many body functions. So the people who live there are very susceptible to death.
