Baikal - one of the greatest and most beautiful lakes in the world! It is the deepest (1620m), the largest volume of fresh water (20 % of world reserves), and the most unique wildlife on the uniqueness of the lake. Baikal is a classic example of a tectonic lake - reservoir formed due to tectonic processes. Baikal lies in the deep basin surrounded by mountain ranges. Baikal - one of the oldest lakes in the world: he is 25 million years old. Lakeside diverges at 2 cm per year, and in the distant future, it can turn into a real ocean. Into Baikal more than 300 rivers. The largest of them Selenga. Follows from Baikal only one river - the Angara.

Lake Baikal, in eastern Siberia, is a miracle of nature. It’s the deepest lake on Earth and it contains more water than all the Great Lakes of America put together. It’s also the oldest lake on Earth and, after more than 25 million years, Lake Baikal is still growing at a rate of 2 cm a year. However, facts and figures fail to describe the breathtaking beauty of Baikal. The water is crystal clear, and when you can see the shimmering stones on the bottom of the lake it’s hard to believe they’re so deep down. But then this tranquillity can easily become a tempest. As the lake changes its mood, the wind rises and huge waves begin to roll across the surface.
