The name “Red Forest” comes from the reddish-brown colour of the pines after they died as a result of absorption of high levels of ionising radiation as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on 26 April 1986.
The pine forest absorbed huge doses of radioactive dust through its treetops. For all living organisms living there, the radiation was deadly. The radiation literally scorched out life, turning century-old pine trees into desiccated red skeletons.
The most dangerous and radioactive places on the planet. The Red Forest. Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
This time, a Virtual Travel Films crew travelled to the most contaminated and dangerous radioactive area of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The place is called the “Red Forest”.

▶ ︎ In February 2022, during the Russian aggression against Ukraine, Russian troops were moving through the Red Forest. Long military convoys raised clouds of radioactive dust.
Nuclear plant workers reported that the Russian occupiers did not use protective suits and put their health at risk.
On 31 March 2022, most of the Russian troops occupying Chernobyl were forced to retreat because of radiation sickness among soldiers and officers. Russian troops dug trenches in the heavily contaminated Red Forest.
On April 1, 2022, “The Daily Telegraph” reported the death of one Russian soldier from acute radiation sickness after a long stay in a camp in the Red Forest. In October 2022, CNN reported that Russian soldiers stationed at Chernobyl were treated in Belarus. Many of the soldiers showed signs of radiation exposure.

Life will adapt. It will overcome, evolve, and perpetually find a way to survive. That is the Miracle of Life. Even in a place so hostile, life will find a way.

Senc you very л mach❤❤❤❤
Iodine 131: half life will actually be absent, 8.1 days; Plutonium 239: half life is actually 24,400 years; Strontium 89: half life is actually 52 days; Strontium 90: half life is actually 28 years. Uranium 235: half life is actually 703.8 million years; Uranium 238: half life is actually 4.5 billion years; Uranium 234: half life is actually 250,000 years.
Excellent video. Thumb down for robot narration.
Not recommended for camping trips!
fire will damage pine trees and make them change color in a similar way. in my youth we had huge bon fires, 1 was a little close to a pine tree and like 2 days later the entire side of the tree changed color. we nearly killed a 60 foot tree even from 30 feet away. it took years for it to recover
Thank you for the video. It is really sad how humans destroy nature but amazing how nature can rebuild itself.
