Winter in Mongolia
Frozen lake, reindeer herders, and life on the steppe
Winter in Mongolia is a journey through silence, resilience, and striking contrasts. Beginning in Ulaanbaatar, the path leads north to the frozen expanse of Lake Khövsgöl, where ice and light shape a vast, otherworldly scene. Beyond the lake, the Tsaatan reindeer herders continue their centuries-old way of life, moving with their animals through snow-covered forests. Along the route, Mongolia’s cities and towns reveal moments of warmth and endurance, standing firm against one of the world’s harshest winters. This collection brings together landscapes, culture, and fleeting encounters into a growing archive of winter on the steppe.
