    I've been planning on this excursion for some time now. There's a video "The Vice Guide To Travel" that has an interesting tour of the place.

    Robert Polidori, an amazing photojournalist, took photographs of Pripyat & Chernobyl in 2001 before Resnicoff. His book (highly recommended) is Zones of Exclusion. Here's a short article & photo gallery.

    I think you'd have to be crazy to go there. It's still radiated and will be for practically forever. Of course, I visited Los Alamos, and that's a dumb thing to do, too.
