Ice Skating On The World's Deepest Lake | Legendary Lake Baikal

[@erijqudus1960]

I am a 77 years old Geologist, Lake Baikal has a very special place in my heart. This is where a Plate is breaking apart creating the deepest (+ 5,000') fresh water lake in the world. I am not surprised that they experience EQ (earth quakes) so frequently, this seismic activity is the direct result of the Plate rupture. Unlike Caspian & Aral Lakes which are salt water lakes, Baikal is not, only because Baikal has an outlet (river exiting), that does not let salt accumulate in the water. It is my last wish to see Baikal and take the Trans-Siberian Train.

[@loriguercio4374]

Wow, that's amazing, thank u for the information and good luck with everything!!

Lake Baikal is so beautiful.. I stayed at a homestead on Olkhon island in the lake...an amazing experience which I recommend to all...Itkutsk is a beautiful city too!!!

[@marjoriegarner5369]

Beautiful video and country. Siberia is just like where I live, in the USA, southwest Montana. You are so brave to go out and make these videos. I love learning about your massive and interesting country of Russia. I have always had a great interest in anything Russian. Especially the older music, literature, and cultute. In how people live, especially in the small villages. I love Rachmaninov's music and Chekov's writing . I am a great grandmother. There is much to share about my culture and much I want to learn about yours. Please keep making these videos. I will share them with my grand daughter who is a wildlife biologist in California. I will be 80 years old this year. Thank you, and stay safe and well. Warm regards from a grandma in Montana. You are a beautiful young lady.

[@prayagpetare8348]

I read about Baikal in Geography and History book only in my childhood. Now today I saw the same in your video. Thanks a lot. By the way in my childhood I used to read one Russian magazine named "Sputnik". I am always fascinated by Russia and it's technoloigcal progress. I like your way of talking,explaining. Whenever I saw you there is a smile on my face. Prayag India

A pandemia foi um pesar para todos não tem como fugir disso. O certo é caso você tenha perdido alguém.
