The photo was taken in January 2024 during a trip to Baikal. This year it was very difficult to find perfect clean ice with cracks and bubbles, since the surface of the lake is covered with snow. After walking several kilometers along the surface, I finally discovered a small clean area. It was snowy and windy. Thus, in collaboration with weather precipitation, it was possible to create an interesting graphic image of Baikal ice.
