A gunman emerges from an alcove. Kill him and pick up the Uzi clips lying nearby.

If you don't care about getting all the secrets, you can skip this next bit and continue along the channel toward the level exit, as shown in the next section.

If you want secret #3, get back in the boat and maneuver it to the spot marked with an 'X' in the screenshot above. Position the boat facing away from the ledge with the red flag with its right side touching the ice wall, as shown in the next screenshot.

Then follow the channel back to the WOODEN HUT in the starting area. Drive past the back of the hut, park the boat near the low ledge on the left, and jump out.
