CHORNOBYL & PRYPIAT

Updated May 30, 2022 | By Matthew Christopher

In this collection you'll find a random sampling of the abandoned places I visited on my trip to Chornobyl, Prypiat*, and the surrounding areas. Scroll to the bottom past the photo thumbnails to explore subgalleries for specific sites.

If you'd like to learn more about what it's like exploring Chornobyl and Prypiat, check out the Abandoned America podcast (above), where we interview Mykhailo Teslenko, a guide who has spent years in the Exclusion Zone, and photos/galleries below.

* Please note that Prypiat and Chornobyl are considered the correct spelling in Ukraine for Pripyat and Chernobyl. Out of respect for Ukraine's sovereignty, we will use their spelling throughout the site.
