Baikonur by Jonk

Baikonur: Vestiges of the Soviet Space Programme is the first ever collection of photos to capture the ruins of the Soviet Space Programme in unbelievable detail.

"Jonk and Jonglez Publishing have brought together a spectacular record of images – concrete, metal and broken glass that tests to a once major and industrious site.. There is something quite mesmerising about seeing edifices that once were scenes of immense activity relegated to creaking skeletons – providing a different experience than in their heyday." - Tripfiction

Jonk reveals to us his excellent collection of photographs taken in the disused part of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. As well as providing us with these amazing pictures, he describes for us the incredible adventure of visiting a location that is unique in the world. Jonk travelled 20km through the Kazakh desert under cover of night, entered the hangars clandestinely, and spent three nights there under the radar of military security to produce a truly incredible photographic reportage of what is considered today the world's most important urban exploration site.
