This is Pokrovsk, a small town located on the bank of the biggest Siberian river, Lena. A hundred kilometres south off Yakutsk. Every spring these wooden houses are flooded, but now they seem to be frozen together with the Lena River. Pictures taken on Dec. 17, 2009. When outdoor temperature was approx. -35C, and the wind was biting.

The river Rissbach has it’s origin near the Eng Alp in the Alpine Park Karwendel. It runs after 26 km into the River Isar which runs through Lake Sylvenstein soon afterwards.
Standing on the bridge that crosses the river Rissbach at the famous Rissbach Gorge and marks the border between Austria and Germany. Under the bridge the Rissbach rumbles down the narrow gorge and falls down over a series of three drops. The walls are vertical and have deep undercuts.

About
In Prudhoe Bay, a network of ice roads in the tundra crisscross river systems & open ocean to connect Americas booming North Slope oil fields to dry land. Every winter truckers have less than three months to shuttle critical supplies over the ice. There’s only one way to get to this remote location: 400 miles of ice-covered, mountainous terrain known as The Dalton Highway.
