There is not much to see in polar Dudinka except the museum and the new orthodox church。 Dudinka works as the port for the nearby rich Norilsk。 Twice a day there are public bus going from Dudinka to Norilsk， it costs 220 roubles one way。The first part ofthe 100kms road built on the permafrost is horrible to drive。 It is hard to maintain this polar road -they say it is northernmost highway of the world. Bumps, bumps and very strange landcape of tundra with ice on the ponds and waterholes.
Yes, I saw Norilsk – itis huge， 200 000-people town – probably the biggest in Arctica。 Mines， industrial blocks and
towers。And a lot of pollution。 Snow，below zero。Norilsk has also his sad story：thay say that during Stalin times more that half a million people died here due the harsh conditions and terror， also Poles。I visited Norilsk’s Golgota – monument built at the bottom of the mountain to remember them。In the mouintain there are still plenty of nikel， platinium， gold。。
