Lake Baikal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in southern Siberia, Russia. It is the world's deepest and oldest freshwater lake, with a depth of over 1,600 meters and an estimated age of 25 million years. Known as the "Galápagos of Russia," it harbors a unique ecosystem with thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are endemic. The lake is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, which are so transparent that objects can be seen up to 40 meters below the surface. In winter, the lake freezes over, creating a stunning landscape of ice formations. The surrounding region offers a mix of rugged mountain ranges, dense forests, and picturesque villages, providing ample opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching, and cultural experiences. Visitors can explore the historic Circum-Baikal Railway, enjoy a boat trip to Olkhon Island, or relax in the thermal springs at Arshan. Lake Baikal is a true natural wonder that offers a serene escape into the wild, untouched beauty of Siberia.
