Mistress of the cave

Ancient legend recreated by freediving champion and team of photographers

What's lurking inside the mysterious Orda Cave? Legend has it, a spirit of the legendary Orda Mistress is on guard so no living soul can disturb the peace of its deep frozen waters. But we've got a volunteer, who accepted the challenge to go through almost 5 kilometers underwater to find the Ice Palace grotto and the Ice lake inside the cave.
