Here's another set of fantastic pictures at Lake Baikal taken last winter. Some very different from previous pictures.

I have thought for many years that Lake Baikal is the only place in Russia that I would like to visit.
The picture of the lonely orange van takes my breath away.
Another flop for IE; had to go Chrome.

That Orange van made me think I'd want the windows open just in case. But then most people who die being dumped in cold water are dead in less that a minute.

This popped up from somewhere this morning:

Good article with good links.
Not sure how a hydro plant by itself could Aralize Baikal.

Most of Lake Baikal’s 2,500-plus species of plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world. Scientists believe up to 40 percent of the lake’s species haven’t been described yet.
What a massive project it would be to catalog them all, think of the paper work and man hours saved for every species exterminated.

This is like the elephant in the room no one is mentioning...

Rock on a pedestal. Why would there be a multi kilogram rock a hundred feet from shore in a DEEP lake available to 'sit on a pedestal'?

Or a rockslide at the edge, and it skittered across the ice.
