My portfolio: Ice festival

BBC News website reader Chris Guinness has been to an ice festival held on Lake Khovsgol in northern Mongolia. Here is a selection of his pictures.

"As the ice forms and large bodies of ice come together, ridges and unusual natural ice sculptures form."

"The ships by the small docks are stranded here for much of the year due to the ice, more than a metre thick, covering the entire lake."

"The ice means people can drive directly across the lake rather than following the road. This truck was delivering materials for the ice festival and the driver couldn't resist a spot of wheel spinning."

"Here a worker wrestles with a large block of ice just carved from the lake."

"The ice festival is home to the Mongolia long distance skating event. Skaters cover 200km over two days in a gruelling test of stamina."

"Why not see the lake while being towed at high speed by these enthusiastic yappers?"

"Two wrestlers tackle each other on the ice." Why not send us your photos? See the links on the right to find out how.
