These stunning images of Siberian
ice cave have taken by a Russian photographer by risking his life on a frozen
lake. The rising sun was fearlessly capture breathtaking photos of magical ice
cavern provide a rare glimpse inside the frozen grotto. Andrey Grachev travel
across cracked ice that could give way at any moment. However several adventure
seekers have plunged through the ice in the past. But 35 years old valiant
ignored the all dangers and takes the stunning cave photos in a beautiful
golden sunlight. He and local guides
safely crossed Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia, almost more than 50 cars are
still waiting to be plucked from the frigid water after falling through the
ice.
He saw magical cavern on Olkhon
Island with hundreds of icy stalactites and massive blocks of blue ice, named
“ice hummocks”. He knew very well about dozens of accidents are taken place
every year, when cars collapsing under the ice and of curse there’re casualties
as well. Andrey said; the danger comes from the ice's ability to move which results
in some pretty wide cracks, and even sometimes these ice hummocks can be longer
than two metres wide.
The sound of ice cracking
underneath his feat was unnerving but he got used to it as it was a regular
occurrence. He further explained, that most of the accidents taken place when
ice is not thick enough and normally in Dec and Jan or when drivers overlooked
the marked roads. Fortunately we didn’t face any dangerous situation, but on
the way back we abruptly came across a massive crack on the road which pushed
us to find a new route. The winter seasons at Lake Baikal is simply wonderful
and I’ve no words of real nature, but I’d way that in spite of dangers the
experience was well worth the risk.
