The Chernobyl accident is widely known to be the worst nuclear reactor accident in history.
Three decades on from the catastrophe, images taken inside the exclusion zone show just what it is like in the now uninhabitable area which surrounds the power plant.
The disaster took place in the early hours of the morning on April 26 in 1986 after there was an explosion in reactor Number 4 at Chernobyl, close to the city of Pripyat in northern Ukraine.
The blast occurred during a safety test in which the plant received a huge surge of power.
This caused the explosion of the core and a huge fire - which resulted in the enormous radioactive fallout.
Plumes flooded as far as neighbouring Belarus and Russia, and once officials realised the severity of the accident, Chernobyl and the surrounding area was abruptly evacuated. A 19 mile exclusion zone around the nuclear power plant was put in place.
Thirty three years on, the full effects are still not known.
The total number of casualties, including deaths due to the disaster, remains a controversial topic. It is believed up to 54 people died from the blast and acute radiation syndrome as a direct result of the explosion.
But there is still considerable debate concerning the accurate number of deaths due to the disaster's long-term health effects with some reports saying the total could be in the thousands .
What is clear, is that even after all of this time, the land is still inhabitable, and will be for a further 20,000 years.
However since 2011 tourists have been able to visit Chernobyl under strict rules and regulations with official guides.
Prices vary as do the lengths of the tours, and if flights and accommodation are included.
But visitors and photographers who venture inside have been captivating audiences across the world with images and pictures of the nuclear plant and deserted city of Pripyat.
Remaining a controversial topic to this day, the nuclear accident has since inspired the hit HBO mini-series, Chernobyl, which sees it's final episode air on Tuesday evening in the UK.
The story, starring Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson, tells the shocking aftermath of the life-changing disaster, and although the ending is yet to preview, the show has already been rated as the greatest TV show of all time.
If a trip to Chernobyl hasn't quite reached your bucket list, thanks to the work of many esteemed photographers, we can see what it is really like in Chernobyl now.
An untouched, eerie ghost town, the city of Pripyat still houses schools, kindergartens and fun fairs and although no sign of life is present in the city today, aside from the roaming tourists with their allocated time slots, sure signs of what once was still remain.
