Baikal Lake EP.2/5 เที่ยวเมือง Irkutsk Russia
James Cameron celebrates birthday at bottom of Lake Baikal in Russia
The bottom of Russia's Lake Baikal has attracted the attention of another VIP tourist -- Top Hollywood director James Cameron. He dived to the bottom on board the Russian 'Mir' submersible to celebrate his fifty sixth birthday. He follows in the footsteps of politicians and celebrities, including the Russian prime-minister and the President of Mongolia. And it was not his first time on board this particular vessel. Cameron used it back in 1997 while shooting the box office hit, Titanic. He said that underwater experience also inspired his recent blockbuster, Avatar.
Frozen Families, Ice-Bound In Irkutsk
A building in Irkutsk, Siberia, looks more like a fridge in need of defrosting than a home. Yet several families, with children, live here, saying local authorities have neglected them. An official said they must prove that they have the right to live in the building before they can be rehoused.

The Wonders of Russian Lake Baikal
Lake Baikal is one of the most amazing places in the world. In winter, it partly freezes, and is capped with 150 cm of solid ice.
Baikal water contains so few mineral impurities, that it appears crystal clear. The water in the lake is cold, even in summer.

Swimming and picnic at Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia
This video is about Swimming and picnic at Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia
Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world with an average depth of 744.4 m (2,442 ft) and contains roughly 20 percent of the world´s surface fresh water. The body of water is also known as the “Baikal Sea” and the Pearl of Siberia. At 1,642 meters (5,390 ft) Lake Baikal is the deepest, and among the clearest lakes in the world. At more than 25 million years old, Baikal is also the world´s oldest lake. Baikal is home to more than 1,700 species of plants and animals, two thirds of which can be found nowhere else in the world and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
World's Oldest Lake - Lake Baikal
Deep within southern Siberia is the world’s oldest lake, on this episode we uncover the mystery of Lake Baikal.
A couple hundred miles or km north of Mongolia Lake Baikal is not only the world’s oldest lake but the world’s deepest by volume at 5387 feet or 1641 meters deep. This lake contains 20% of the world’s unfrozen freshwater and contains 27 islands most of which are uninhabited. Called the Galapagos of Russia, Lake Baikal has 300 rivers flowing into it but only 1 river, the Angara, that flows out of it. The lake was created by the earth’s crust pulling apart, also known as a rift valley.
Dating back to its creation over 25 million years ago Lake Baikal measures 49 miles or 79 km wide by 395 miles or 636 km long. There is over 1304 miles or 2100 km of coastline which is frozen much of the year. You have probably seen photos of this lake before, popular images of frozen bubbles and it’s iced over surface have been shared across the globe. The average temperature around the lake in winter is -2.2 degrees fahrenheit or -19 degrees celsius. Summer time is a more enjoyable 57 degrees or 14 celsius. Standing on the lake looking down, it is so clear one can see down 131 feet or 40 meters.
Lake Baikal isn’t always covered in ice, many species especially 2500 different species of animals and 1000 plants can be found in and around the lake. More than half of the species found among this lake aren’t found anywhere else. 150 snail species, 18 sponges, 13 leeches, and 350 amphipod all call this place home. Only 60 species of fish live in the lake with ½ being native to the lake. Lake Baikal has a 4 mile or 6.4 km thick layer of sediment which provides the unique environment for many of the unusual species of waterlife and plants. A unique freshwater species of seal called nerpa resides in Lake Baikal. Also called Baikal seals this species is the only true one with other ones being like the ringed seal, Ladoga seal and Saimaa ringed seal being subspecies of saltwater seals.
It’s not just wildlife that will be found around the lake, Buryat tribes live on the east side of Lake Baikal. They sustain themselves through the cold Siberian winters by raising cattle, goats, camels and sheep. If that isn’t bizarre enough UFO sightings are said to be common around the lake. For decades people have reported seeing UFOs and these sightings not only in the past but are reported regularly to this day. Added as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1996, Lake Baikal is full adventure, wonder and life for those looking for a destination not experienced by most.
Do you think you could survive a cold siberian winter among the tribes people that live there? Do you want to visit this place to see it’s unique and natural beauty? Let us know in the comments down below.

Baikal Blues. Is Russia's greatest national treasure under threat?
Find out more about lake Baikal James Brown returns to Russia’s Lake Baikal, the world’s oldest and deepest lake, 7 years after his last visit to investigate reports that the region’s ecology had changed for the worse. The lake, known for the clarity of its freshwater, is home to hundreds of unique species of plants and animals. The beauty and rich biodiversity attracts many visitors. While tourism brings in much needed cash, it also has a flip side; tourists bring pollution, plastics and other waste. Local biologists have been monitoring the lake for 70 years and they’re increasingly concerned.
James joins a team of researchers to take water and sediment samples to see just how worrying the situation is. Visual examination reveals that a certain type of algae, usually found in swamps, has been spreading along the coast line signifying growing levels of pollution. Along with some worrying signs, there are a few hopeful ones too, like certain endemic animal populations starting to recover.
James visits Olkhon, an island popular with tourists, to see how ecologists and volunteers are fighting back against the pollution that visitors leave behind. From recycling to educating tourists and raising awareness of environmental issues, they’ve come up with effective strategies to preserve Baikal’s unique beauty and water quality. If they’re going to succeed though, they need everyone who visits or lives by this natural wonder to play their part.

A look at life in and around Russia's Lake Baikal
In South-Eastern Siberia there is an amazing wonder of nature - Lake Baikal. It is so vast and deep that locals call it the sea. But its water is pure and fresh: a fifth of the Earth's freshwater is contained in this lake.
Baikal is known as the Pearl of Siberia. It is home to thousands of species of plants and animals, two thirds of which can be found nowhere else on the planet. Despite environmental threats, the lake has preserved its purity - due partly to the lack of large-scale tourism.
