Where is this?

I know what it is, but does anybody know where it is or what language they are speaking? I am guessing its not Chernobyl.

Pretty cool with its slightly overhanging wall but what do you think the radiation levels are? :)

Probably pretty near normal levels. This is a picture of a cooling tower which, at one point, emitted water vapor.

And, cooling towers don't necessarily equate to nuclear reactors. Cooling towers are used for a number of industrial processes including hydroelectric and other forms of energy production.

That's cool, but why don't they just free climb that thing?

Oh guys, I told you that I knew what it was. I was just having a little fun.

The lead climber asks "Are you filming?", the camera guy says "Yes, I'll make couple of stills". Then there is a comment about the jacket being too tight. At the end a climber goes "Real polar explorers are not afraid of warmth" as he puts his jacket on and something about heat. I'm guessing it's somewhere in Northern Russia. The sticker on the belayer's helmet is for Krukonogi - a Russian ice climbing equipment company. Check them out - Krukonogi.com.

Those titanium gold nomic picks look pretty cool... Looks like they make some nice stuff.

I found my new climbing song!
