I Went To Baikal, The Deepest And Oldest Lake On Earth To Capture Its Otherworldly Beauty (23 Pics)
I thought that it was in the winter that this area is of the greatest interest. But I was mistaken - in the spring when the lake is freed from ice, and seals bask in the sun when the rosemary blooms - it is even more beautiful.
If you're interested, here you can find my previous post about Lake Baikal in the winter.

They were lovely photos. I would love to go but I think the fewer of us who do, the better.

There's a town there, not far from Listvyanka. I've been there (to the lake, and the accompanying town on the edge with it's museum). People drive across it in winter, and are remarkably...blaise about the odd truck that just falls through the ice in spring. The seals are remarkable when they are cold - they pull their flippers and noses and extremities in until they're just a fat ball. I met one and it extended in an almost snake-like fashion to stare at me.

Some wow-facts: "Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world, containing 22–23% of the world's fresh surface water. With 23,615.39 km3 (5,670 cu mi) of fresh water, it contains more water than the North American Great Lakes combined. With a maximum depth of 1,642 m (5,387 ft), Baikal is the world's deepest lake. It is considered among the world's clearest lakes and is considered the world's oldest lake – at 25–30 million years. It is the seventh-largest lake in the world by surface area." (Wikipedia)
