From series “The Most Radioactive Zones on the Planet”
An amazing city of Ramsar is situated in Iran. The place differs much from many radioactive areas of the planet. The main feature of the local radiation lies in the fact that it is natural. Large industrial plants have never been constructed and nuclear tests have been never conducted there. However, radiation level reaches 250 mSv per year.

Ramsar Town, Iran The reason is in radioactive elements hidden underground. They didn’t prevent the city from keeping the grandeur and beauty for hundreds of years. Today, the foundation of Ramsar economy is tourism. Travelers come here from all over the world to enjoy the unique historical buildings and ride the old cable cars. One of the main historical attractions of the city is a majestic Pahlavi palace.

The city is very big and beautiful, it is literally immersed in an abundance of greenery. There are many parks and tree-lined avenues, priceless religious sites, as well as numerous traditional craft shops and markets. Constantly, Ramsar area is home to about 34 500 people, some of which are not frightened with a background radiation. Thousands of travelers who walk along fabulously beautiful foothills of Mount Elbrus are not afraid of it too. Next - Stone Houses in Yangjiang
