In the sun the burnt grass is the colour of sandstone, against which the grey mountain ridge stands out effectively with its dark border of firs. The white and bluish-grey ribbon of the Kiito gol, covered with ice, disappears among the mountains in the north. I said goodbye to a group of lamas who had assembled to see me off, no longer scared by the craniometer.
