Elena Chernyshova is a Russian documentary photographer who documented daily life in Norilsk, a mining city in the Arctic Circle with over 170,000 residents. Norilsk was constructed using prisoners from the Gulag system and relies heavily on mining and metallurgy industries. The documentary explores how residents have adapted to the extreme climate with average temperatures of -10C and frequent drops to -55C in winter, as well as the pollution and isolation of the remote city.
