As a child, I remember hearing the horror of the Chernobyl incident on TV programs and discussed at the dinner table.

However, I certainly couldn’t have understood the magnitude of the situation.

Looking back now is an interesting experience, given the reclaiming of the land by nature in a renewed ecosystem.

How the plants survived and adapted is fascinating.

The vegetation recovery was key to the rest of the ecosystem rebounding.
