Blizzards sweep large amounts of snow onto Russia’s northernmost city

Russia’s northernmost city, Norilsk, has been waist-deep in snow for almost a week now, exposed to blizzards and gusts of strong wind.

In the past two months, about 400,000 tonnes of snow were removed from the Siberian city, according to local media.

Norilsk is located 300 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle.
