That was really cool. Loved the eagle photo and the top-down shot of the lake near the end...how terrified I would be to swim in that.

WOW! to that eagle. I also loved the people in the yurt, especially the dude with his sunglasses on.

BBC's Human Planet had a story on fox hunting with trained eagles in the Altai Mountains.

Amazing pictures. Reminds me of Montana, in a way.

Also, this is sort of tangential, but... damn, Google Translate was totally serviceable there. That's really impressive.

Wow awesome photos, thanks. I want to go there so bad now!

Gorgeous and fascinating. Thanks for this.

Google Translate was totally serviceable there. That's really impressive.

Agreed. It's still having trouble with Japanese, though.
