An icy ride on Lake Baikal

Available for over a year

BBC Russian's Oleg Boldyrev took the opportunity of a far flung deployment to visit a frozen Lake Baikal, naturally with his bike. A place of ice stalactites, upended jagged ice shards, and strange, sci-fi sounding ice symphonies as the ice expands and contracts. (Photo: Oleg and his bike on Lake Baikal. Credit: Oleg Boldyrev)
