WOF 2021 #48: Eyes of God
Eyes of God
33 year old Tomass Marnics from Latvia put together a team of the world’s best extreme kayakers. Together they planned to descend the legendary Saryjaz River. The expedition took the adventurers directly to the “Eyes of God”, a mystical cliff face reminiscent of an enormous human face, in the no-man’s land between Kyrgyzstan and China.
The extreme sportsmen spent ten days cut off from civilization, in deep inaccessible gorges, sleeping under the open sky at night. They also overcame the countless rapids at the absolute limit of what is possible in kayaking – an undertaking that leaves no margin for error.
