New
signs of Siberia's Nessie? A dark creature in the lake and broken fishing nets
By Ann Liesowska 01 November 2016
Andrey Solovyev will spend winter on shores of lake Labynkyr. Braving
temperatures of below minus 50C, and with no other living soul in a radius of
150 kilometres, this 32 year old adventurer walked for ten days to reach one of
Russia's most remote and mysterious lakes in a one-man search for the monster
that is reputed to inhabit its deep waters. He has regularly met brown
bears roaming these wild shores, although they are now ready for hibernation,
and wolves are never far away.But it is a different beast he is seeking to see
and chronicle - Siberia's own Loch Ness monster.Home for him through the winter
is a simple wooden hut overlooking the ice-covered lake. Expeditions here are
rare, but usually academics and others seeking to prove or disprove the
Labynkyr Devil's existence come in summer, when the waters are unfrozen, and
then stay a week or two.Winter temperatures here in the coldest inhabited
district in the world are likely to plummet well under 50C, although this week
the nights are milder, only minus 32C or so. Yet Andrey, from Voronezh, is
undaunted, having already spent 103 days in solitude on the lakeside, living on
fish he catches, wild onion which he gathered and pickled earlier, as well as
mushrooms and berries he collected before the big freeze.Read rest and see pics here : http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/features/f0268-new-signs-of-siberias-nessie-a-dark-creature-in-the-lake-and-broken-fishing-nets/
