Rope Pull Ice Festival

Gobi Desert, Mongolia

Our guide in Mongolia saw on Facebook that a local community was having an ice festival on a frozen lake. We drove all over the lake and finally found them! The community was celebrating the fact that the lake, which had been completely drained by a mining company, was now coming back to life (after the mining company was sued by the community). They had many games and everybody was so happy, even though the temperature was 40 degrees below zero!!
