Forced Labor Camps, USSR - Kolyma, Part of the GULAG

Kolyma, where the land is covered by permafrost for nine months and summers are insufferably hot, was once the scene of a notorious forced labor camp.  This video clip, Part IV (Kolyma - At Life's Rock Bottom) of Siberian Impressions, takes us on a virtual journey to this former stop on the Gulag Archipelago.  Workers deported here (during Stalinist times) mined gold, silver, platinum, lead and uranium.
