Places To Go: Lake Baikal




This is a lake located in the Russian region of southern Siberia (the next place will be a warm one I promise). Even so, Lake Baikal seems pretty amazing despite the cold (the water in the summer reaches a high of only about 40 degrees). It's the biggest, oldest, and deepest lake in the world with over 1,500 species that are unique to it alone, like the world's only fresh water seal. It makes up for about 20% of the world's fresh water supply. It also has mutated species, hot underwater geysers, the fact that scientists don't even know how deep it actually goes, AND the rumor of the Lake Baikal monster. Lets go.
