The giant industrial complex at Norilsk, in Russia's remote Artic

region, is accused of being world's largest producer of acid rain.

Foreigners are usually forbidden from entering the secretive
region.
Ore extracted from Norilsk mines produces a rich mix of metals
including nickel, copper, palladium, platinum, gold and silver,
but it also contains a large amount of sulphur.
The metal industry in Norilsk was built from scratch by prison
labourers of Stalin's brutal Gulag.
Norilsk residents go about their lives as the smelters pour
smoke on to the city.
Many of the trees near the smelters have been killed off by
acid rain or other pollutants.
