Norilsk is a major city in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It was granted city status in 1953. It is the northernmost city in Siberia and the world's second largest city (after Murmansk) above the Arctic Circle. Norilsk with Yakutsk and Vorkuta are the only large cities in the continuous permafrost zone. Norilsk is also the northernmost city on the planet with a population over 100,000. Population: 134,832 (2002 Census). MMC Norilsk Nickel, a mining company, is the principal employer in the Norilsk area. Due to the intense mining, the city is one of the ten most polluted cities in the world, with, according to CNN, not a single living tree within 48 km (around 23.6 miles - I think) of the nickel smelter Nadezhda.
