Story
Lara comes across some information referring to an ancient mask that was supposedly held somewhere near Alaska. She finds a faded photograph showing an Inuit whale hunter holding an ancient artefact. Lara finds information about a secret base and a conflict over gold that started in Alaska in a newspaper clipping from 1945. She sets for Alaska in search of the artefact that is thought to be the famous Mask of Tornarsuk.
Features
The level starts with Lara dropping from a helicopter onto an island in the Bering Sea. Lara finds herself near a former Soviet military base and mining base full of mercenary treasure hunters. The Cold War also contains a section where Lara must drive a snowmobile.
The main obstacles throughout the level are the numerous deep chasms that Lara can fall into, as well as the high number of armed mercenaries. There are also several animals lurking around the more deserted areas of the base.
