The engine idles and a plume of breath rises into white air as you step from the car onto a hard, blue slab of lake ice. Pine-smelled wind nudges the snow across the surface while your guide measures ice thickness and points to a likely crack; then an auger bites and a circular window opens to the cold, dark water below. Hot mugs steam in gloved hands — small comforts against a landscape of low fells and distant ridgelines.
