The Altai region is beautiful, I hope to visit one day. This bloke hiked up to Agafia's and filmed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w_NOkOLUQQ https://www

  That was a very fascinating video to watch - thanks for that. Only thing is it delivered a pretty gnarly case of motion sickness after a few minutes .. What was really interesting was the observation, towards the end, that once he'd hiked for 4 days and then arrived at Agafia's place and been there for a day, he felt like he'd arrived in civilisation! One wonders what the plan for the area is, once Agafia leaves this mortal coil. She's not alone at the moment - it seems she gets regular visitors - but would this be enough of a settlement to form the basis for a new township to be founded? I confess, the idea of moving to that valley is very attractive these days, if but for the harsh environment I clearly know nothing about ..
