Walk on a metre of black crystal ice over the world's deepest lake, ice-hole immersions, banya villages, and hovercraft galas on the ice.
The ice is a metre thick and perfectly clear, so you walk on nothing, over a mile of black water, with cracks running under your boots like lightning.
You breathe on it. You cut a hole in it and go in. You come out to a banya so hot your skin sings.
And on the last night a hovercraft brings dinner out onto the ice.
On every journey
Before any immersion
On departure
The itinerary escalates: gentle on arrival, the impossible moment near the end, and a feast every night you have earned one.
Baseline; the first walk on the ice.
A day on foot over the clear ice.
Ice-hole immersion; banya after.
Cycles of heat and cold with locals.
Dinner on the ice; report; stamp.
The marker follows the journey as you scroll.
You lie face down on the ice and look through it into the dark, and then you breathe thirty breaths with your cheek on the coldest window on Earth.
Omul from the lake, smoked and fresh; pelmeni; vodka; a table on the ice under more stars than you have ever seen.
