White gold
The dome is the golds -sustained field in the Chukotka, one of the largest in the Far East. The dome belonging to the Canadian company Kinross is one of the most inaccessible gold mines in the world. From January to April to mines, you can get along the 400-kilometer ice road from the singer, the northern city of Russia. It is imported on it for 1,200 people who live and work in a working village at a deposit. The rest of the year to the dome can only be reached by the air shift over the snowy tundra.
Elena Chernyshova, the World Press Photo laureate for the photo series about Norilsk , spent 10 days on the dome mine, where silver and gold are being mined in severe conditions - she sank into a mine, watched the everyday life of workers and shot the endless landscapes of ice Chukotka.
