ACROSS THE VICTORIA, ON A ROPE PHOTOS FROZEN IN TIME

Fearless photographer Andrey Grachev, 35, travelled across precarious cracked ice to snap some beautiful sights — those of a Siberian ice cave. Although many adventurers have plunged through the ice in the past, Andrey ignored the dangers, crossing Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia, with the help of local guides. When he arrived at the magical cavern on Olkhon Island, he found hundreds of icy stalactites and huge blocks of beautiful blue ice, known as ice hummocks, capturing them with his lens.
