A notebook, beer bottles and plate lie on a flaking table in an abandoned house at Zalisya village located inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone on September 29, 2015 near Chornobyl, Ukraine. Zalisya, a village that before 1986 had a population of approximately 3,000, lies about 15 kilometers south of the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where in 1986 workers inadvertantly caused reactor number four to explode, creating the worst nuclear accident in history. Authorities evacuated 120,000 people, incuding the residents of Zalisya and 85 other villages, as well as of the towns of Chornobyl and Pripyat. Today the Zalisya site stands abandoned and overgrown with trees and vegetation. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
