Introduction

According to forecasts of Russian Academy of
Science, Russia more than any other country is
likely to suffer from global warming. Russia is
situated in the Northern hemisphere, and,
according to the climatic map, northern regions
are much more affected by climate changes.

• Region of Eternal Frosts comprises most of the
  Russian territory. If air temperature kept going
  up, the Eternal Frosts would start melting, and
  in its turn, this could lead to immense disasters!

Surgut, Norilsk and Krasnoyarsk.

Salekhard

• June, 9th
• Salekhard was my first destination point. This
  city is situated near the sea. Due to
  deglacation, level of the World ocean has raised,
  and the city has now almost completely
  disappeared under water. It is very dangerous
  here, I didnt need to stay in Salekhard, so I
  decided to continue my journey.

Journey to Surgut

• June 10-13th
• Trip to Surgut took almost three days, the area
  was heavily flooded. Moreover, the road went
  through the Eternal Frosts area, and it began to
  melt. So, large holes appeared in some places,
  and they hindered my journey.

Surgut

• June 14th
• Finally Im in Surgut! Cars and even houses went
  down the earth because of thawing of the Eternal
  Frosts. Moreover, city gas-pipe was destroyed,
  so people cannot use gas. I spent only one day
  here, but what Ive seen shall remain in my
  memory forever.

Journey to Norilsk

• June 15th
• This morning Ive started for Surgut. Road to
  Norilsk went through rural area, which turned out
  to be heavily flooded. It took me 5 days to get
  to this city.

Norilsk

• June 20th
• Its 700 PM and Im getting close to
  Norilsk. Its rather strange that people are
  quite calm. Ive asked several citizens about
  effect of global warming on their lives. It
  turned out, that shortage of drinking water is
  the only thing people are suffering from. I saw
  soil destruction only in the country.

Journey to Krasnoyask

• June 22nd
• Ive spent just 2 days in Norilsk, but I have to
  go now. Having left the city, I indeed saw soil
  destruction. The road went through highland, but
  it was heavily bogged up, and it is not typical
  for this landscape. So I decided that melting of
  eternal frosts had leg to bog formation.

Krasnoyarsk

20

• June 28th
• It took me 6 days to get to Krasnoyarsk, and my
  journey is over now. What I saw in Krasnoyarsk
  was really terrible the city disappeared under
  water! Constant rainfalls and river-level rise
  have led to flood in the city. People suffer from
  shortage of drinking water. Rains caused bog
  formation in suburbs. This in its turned led to
  insect epidemics that caused malaria and
  gastrointestinal diseases. Its dangerous to stay
  here, so Im going back home.

This journey made a very sad impression. Both
nature and people are suffering. And we have to
take thought about it today in order prevent
bringing such imaginary journey into life.
