Staggering Depth Of Baikal: World's Deepest Lake

[@StrangerThanFictionSTF]

If the depths & mysteries of lake Baikal blew your mind, you’ve got to see what’s happening in Africa’s Great Rift Valley. It’s another incredible example of tectonic forces at work, but this time, it’s literally tearing a continent apart. Dive into the future of Africa’s landscape in our Great Rift Valley video here, it’s just as fascinating! kzbin.info/www/bejne/joLNg36qhcxrors

A little misleading saying "some military submarines cannot reach its depth." Sure, North Korean subs wouldn't, but 99% of the military subs in the world could reach the bottom easily.

[@cwest3956]

@@KZbinAccount-hq6oz you're right

[@psygnale]

As an old jarhead, I love when people use “military-grade” as if its supposed to be cool. In the case of subs, it denotes a LACK of performance as mil-spec can’t go that deep, because they don’t need to. Civilian research subs OTOH have easily and repeatedly reached the bottom of Challenger Deep. “Military grade” mainly translates to “designed and manufactured by the lowest bidder”.

This video was incredibly informative, but I would have enjoyed it more if my phobia hadn’t kicked in, haha. Deep water really triggers something in me. Even though it scares me, I’m fascinated by researching the seas and oceans-especially the stories of deep-sea creatures. Our oceans are so vast and unexplored that anything could be lurking down there. I think my fear isn’t just about the deep water itself, but more about what might be hiding beneath the surface. All in all, a really good coverage of lake Baikal 👍

The saddest thing about the Baikal dragon is that in the time since it was first/last sighted, enough time has passed that the very last one of them could have died thanks to human activities, and we'd never know better until we'd find some remains all the way at the bottom.

On Vancouver Island Canada we have Cameron Lake a small 10 km lake near Port Alberni which is said to be incredibly deep where the actual depth from the surface to bottom is still unknown

[@scupking]

Just looked it up and that lake is only 43 feet deep...

[@Saladfingers7248]

😂​@@scupking

[@mastick5106]

I've seen a couple of places that mention the 43 feet figure, but they're wrong. Vancouver Island University has several pages discussing a 2018-19 bathymetric mapping project for Cameron Lake, with depths of up to 30 meters mentioned, and the contour lines on their low-res bathymetric map indicate a maximum measured depth of between 45-50 meters. There is also speculation that Cameron Lake and nearby Horne Lake may be connected by a submerged cavern/tunnel system, making deeper points reachable. I suspect 43 feet is actually the depth of the _other_ Cameron Lake in British Columbia, which is significantly smaller.

[@russ549]

Great video, thanks! I think the tech tonic plate theory is not well understood. I think there are more plates and partial plates than we know, in other words the crust can tear itself apart or thrust its self upward just about anywhere at anytime and stop moving as quick as it started moving....cause what is the reason for the Grand Canyon? The hundreds of volcanos right near it and all over the whole western United States? The earth has to move in waves just like the air and the water....

[@Ron4885]

They saw strange creatures in there according to some 'other' video channels.

[@KryyssTV]

Slight correction, most of earth's water has been found in recent years to exist in vast underground oceans about 700m down based upon deepcrust seismograph studies. It is theorised that our oceans originate from deepsea fissures and wellsprings that connect to these deeper sources of water and represent just a third of the total volume of oceanic water.
