Theater Square. Norilsk webcams

Webcam of Norilsk with a view of the Theater Square at the Polar Drama Theater named after V. Mayakovsky.

The institution is considered one of the most popular in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Concerts and celebrations are held at the theater during the summer months. In winter, a snowy town with a Christmas tree is being built. Anyone can watch what is happening on the square in real time.

Norilsk webcams, which can be viewed online on this site, represent the city officially recognized as the coldest in the world.

The average winter air temperature in this harsh region is about 40 degrees below zero, and the polar night lasts from late November to mid-January. Local residents have already become accustomed to the so–called "actirovka" - the cancellation of classes in schools and the exit of workers to production due to the strongest snowstorms. On such days, the life of the city seems to freeze, and snow drifts reach the level of the windows of the second floors of high-rise buildings. And this is taking into account the fact that all buildings are built on stilts due to permafrost. Snow removal equipment is the most popular winter contingent of the Norilsk fleet. The work on clearing the streets does not stop sometimes for several days.
The city-forming enterprise is Norilsk Nickel, which employs most of the adult population of the region. "Norilsk Nickel" covers all spheres of life of the city and adjacent industrial territories, called briefly NPR – Norilsk Industrial District. He owns the local airline, food enterprises, fuel energy, and many other branches of urban life support.
But in addition to the undoubted benefits for the growth and development of Norilsk as a modern industrial center, the plant causes great harm to the environment. Besides him, other "heavy" enterprises work in the city: concentrating factories, a copper smelter, ore workshops.

If you watch the webcams of Norilsk online, you can often notice a thick smog over the city, the cause of which is the emissions of waste from enterprises into the atmosphere.

For the same reason, the water in the local rivers is unsuitable and even dangerous to use, and there is practically no vegetation in the city itself. "Acidic" rains cause the death of greenery and foliage on trees, even conifers "go bald".
In the most negative way, this state of air and water affects people's health. For this reason, since 2016, measures have been taken to improve the environmental situation in the NPR: enterprises are gradually switching to new technologies, waste volumes are being reduced, and the dirtiest workshops have stopped working.

If it is not yet possible to see the city with your own eyes, Norilsk webcams, which you can watch online from anywhere in the world, will help you go on a virtual journey.
