In the depths of Great Snow Mountain, in North America, lies a valley locked in perpetual ice.
This is one of the coldest regions on the North American Continent.
Within a 200-mile radius, there is not a single inhabitant.
Due to the extreme cold and the constant howling gale, the temperature remains below minus 35 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The only people who lived here were the native inhabitants and a few adventurous polar explorers.
Frozen Lake is an unnamed lake. It had no name initially; it was only called this because its waters remain frozen all year round, hence the locals casually named it as such.
Looking down from above, the lake's waters are locked in ice throughout the year, with ice layers several meters thick.
In this place where human survival seems nearly impossible, there sits an elderly man, quietly meditating.
His hair is grizzled, and he dons only a thin layer of clothing, his body cloaked in frost, as if he has long become an ice sculpture.
