Baikal ice 2015. Part 2.

Continue the story of our epic stay on the island...

No intrigue our breaking through the ice, of course, is not over. Waited for the passing of "polutona" and promptly pulls out a rope.

As the stress one to be fully experienced, before dinner there was time, we rushed to the island Ogoy. On the island erected a stupa and all kind of decorated. Met podmoklice on the car, which turned out to be the real "Muscovites". Our warm welcome and "wow, you move directly from Moscow!" they through clenched teeth muttered something and did not even shook hands with fellow countrymen. Varacalli his "bucket", so we were uncomfortable to drive off and quickly piled up.

Volodya wanted very much to go fishing on lake Baikal. I have been warned that it is unlikely that this something will come, but on the other side why not try.

The next day we go on Kholoy-Nur — a small lake, separated from lake Baikal thin sand spit

The fishing has not worked because of the use of unusual local perch gear type balancer.But taking pictures of the cave "wild"

The next item on our plan is pad taskina. Because the ice this year on lake Baikal is not the most stable, we decided to go there on the ground. Especially in my aypeda clearly visible tracks in there — at least on the satellite, at least on the General staff.

The Windows in the cabin tightened by a film, and we decided to take advantage of the absence of the wind and cook dinner. For dinner we have soup, the same one that we later warmed up :)

I guess I won't deceive you if I say that paddy is taskina the most beautiful ridges in the year. The weather is a little grayish, but as they say professionals in the cloudy weather you can shoot all day, and in clear, only a little in the morning and a little in the evening.

The temperature jumps from minus ten to nearly zero. Of course, the ice is in motion, and here is the latest crack that is not much time to grab the cold

Some icicles have a rather bizarre form

And we are not losing precious time in rushing Tazheranskaya steppe. Over the top we should now call. The crew has nachil doubt that we will succeed, but I'm with an intelligent face assured everyone that in the summer I go to the second low bullet drop. Well, once in summer and once a bullet, then all relieved and we pulled.

Winter Baikal are dominated by foreigners, including broadcasters

We clamber onto the island Zamogoi, and there are already imported our neighbors in the camp are already here, they arrived at "the loaf". Her driver says that in the Strait the small sea to go simple — go straight and all!

Taught by recent experience, check the ice crack fresh and the length is water. Thanks for the advice, a good driver "loaves"!

Twist about in search of another move through Stanovaya crack we never found the short road. All traces rested in the fishing Parking lot and on the other side were not.

Take a timeout — the more we are all for it

After a snack we go to the other side of the Small sea on the land. In Khuzhir we scared the difficult snow situation, but there is, of course, everything goes in the presence of a full drive

Our next goal Cape Tsagan-Khushun and his grotto

In the grotto you can go down from the top. In the summer, when the Baikal storm, there is probably very impressive

Just a little bit and have dinner, and eating late does not. Way to detour not close, but look for passages between the cracks does not want.

At night, the ice actually looks quite scary — it is impossible to understand its thickness and it seems that he is very, very thin...
