Motorcycle on the ice of Lake Baikal

In 2006, my friends and I traveled to Lake Baikal in Siberian Russia. Our destination was Olkhon, an island on the lake, but as Baikal was still frozen, we had to walk across the ice.

About this place:

Located in Siberian Russia, Lake Baikal is the world's deepest lake, containing 1/5 of the world's fresh water. It is home to numerous species which live only in the waters of Baikal.
