The ice of Lake Baikal

In February 2022, we spent 5 days exploring the incredible beauty of frozen Lake Baikal. We rode husky sledges, bicycles, buggies, ATVs and ice-skated the magic ice of the earth biggest, deepest and oldest lake. From Olkhon to Ogoy islands, and from Kuzhir to Sarma villages, watch our journey across the incredible “Pearl of Siberia”.
