So Andrey has the impression - as many others have before - that something large loiters beneath the surface of lake Labynkyr.

'What would I do if I meet the devil? I'll be taking pictures,' he hopes.

Reports reached the outside world of a 'monster' in one of the most remote lakes in Yakutia in the 19th century, although possibly locals told such tales earlier than this.

It was a Soviet scientist Viktor Tverdokhlebov, who popularised the notion of 'Labynkyrsky Chert' (Labynkyr Devil) here some 5,000 km east of Moscow. Lake Labynkyr is in the same district of Yakutia as Oymyakon, known as the Pole of Cold, the world's coldest permanent human settlement.

In the Stalin era, Tverdokhlebov wrote: 'There have been all sort of hypothesises about what kind of creature it could be: a giant pike, a relic reptile or an amphibia.

'We did not manage to prove or to disprove these versions, we managed to find remains of jaws and skeleton of some animal.'
