Полыньи — Winter’s Breath in the Altai
In the heart of winter, the Gorny Altai reveals its quiet majesty as a meandering river carves through snow-dusted canyons. Sunlight bathes the rocky slopes in warm hues while patches of open water—polynyas—glint like sapphire threads against the white expanse. This serene scene captures nature’s contrast: stillness and flow, cold and light, silence and motion. Photographed by Andrey Polyakov, it invites viewers to pause and breathe with the land.
