He introduced himself to us as Chyskhan, the Lord Keeper of the Cold.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Yakutian mythology, Chyskhan is responsible for distributing winter across the globe. Every autumn, a dozen or so of the 25 official Santa Claus equivalents from various cultures around the world gather in Oymyakon to collect symbols of cold from Chyskhan. They return in spring to hand back the tokens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Early problems<\/h2>\n<p>Unofficial send-off aside, the first few days of the Italians&#8217; expedition have not been easy. Problems soon began with the gearbox on Lanzaretti\u2019s bike. They had to take it apart and reassemble it &#8212; no easy matter in those temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>At least, the pair are experienced in the cold. In 2017, Lanzaretti cycled across Siberia in winter.
