Γρήγορα στοιχεία: The lake holds about 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater, making it the largest freshwater lake by volume globally. It's also the world's deepest lake, plunging more than 1,600 meters at its deepest point.
Αξιοσημείωτα: Crystal-clear waters reveal ancient submerged trees and unique endemic species like the Baikal seal, the only freshwater seal on the planet. During winter, the lake's surface freezes into a thick glassy sheet that produces strange acoustic sounds and stunning ice formations.
