Three months later, Mount McKinley, Valley of Death.
The Valley of Death had been reduced to ruins. This once-famous snow valley was now stripped of all trees and vegetation, leaving behind a barren, desolate landscape. Furthermore, the ground and surrounding mountain walls had taken on an eerie green hue, a direct result of nuclear radiation.
The Tsar Bomba is the most powerful nuclear weapon in the world today. The radiation from its explosion blanketed an area hundreds of kilometers in radius, turning the Valley of Death and the entirety of Mount McKinley a sickly, glowing green. Most of the flora and fauna across the snowy mountain had been contaminated, dying off one by one. Now, the vast mountain was a dead zone; not a single living creature or plant remained, transforming it into a green hell.
