The Russian city of Norilsk is considered the northernmost major city in the world. In winter it gets bitterly cold and sledding at minus 20 degrees Celsius is not uncommon (137). Even during the April of 2018 there is still a cross-country ski taking place (138). The pictures taken in summer feature two boys warming themselves in the steam of a pipe (135), women waiting for their appearance at a bridal contest (136), and the entrance hall of a fish shop (139).
