15 heavy shots from the Fukushima exclusion zone, which showed the world for the first time

When a nuclear disaster occurred at the Fukushima station in Japan, residents living within a radius of 18 miles were urged to evacuate. 5 years have passed since then, and the created exclusion zone is still closed to outsiders.

Nevertheless, human curiosity and the desire to explore the unknown often defeats established norms and rules. The 27-year-old Malaysian photographer, Ki Wi Lun, illegally made his way into the Fukushima exclusion zone, passing police patrols and barricades.

"It seems like the computer game Fallout has come to life," the guy says. Lun was armed only with a gas mask and was not afraid of an increased level of radiation. He managed to take truly unique pictures of places that no one had ever seen before. Places that have been abandoned and untouched since 2011.
