Inside Chernobyl's no-go zone: Haunting photos from town abandoned after radiation disaster 30 years ago reveal desolate hospitals, rotting homes and discarded possessions
The town of Pripyat, in Ukraine, sprang up just three kilometres from the ill-fated Chernobyl power plant
But on April 26 1986, one of the reactors deep within the plant exploded, causing the world's worst nuclear disaster
Austrian photographer Roland Verant, 35, has ventured into the no-go zone to witness the town as it appears now
Unmade beds, abandoned meals and empty swimming pools covered in dust offer glimpses into the lives left behind
