>>1248566Distant object can be seen from way further than usual which is weird, and noise carries extremely far - I was able to hear a few guys speaking from a kilometre away and partially understand the conversation. Also, the air's really crisp, dry and cold.
>>1248825The only road across Baikal in winter runs from the mainland all the way alongside the West side of Olkhon island. 2-3 days walking from pic location.
>>1248997Agreed on much of the Central Europe locations, but try being days away from the nearest road on Baikal. It gets really remote really fast.
>>1249390>fly to Irkutsk>take minibus to edge of lake in Listvyanka or Olkhon>arrange extra transport to more remote location or just start walking/ice skatingPlane ticket and visa were the main costs, the rest was just a few nights in Irkutsk. There's outfitters that can arrange it all for you as well. Handy if you need transport to the really remote corners.
>>1251411Actually one of the less spectacular pics from the trip.
Also, spot our tent in pic.
