Lake Baikal is the deepest lake on Earth, with a depth of over one mile. What do you find most intriguing about this great body of water?

This video literally doesn't explain a single thing

[rchuso]

One of the few places in the world I'd still like to see.

Sooo, we just gonna brush over the fact that this dude has 2 thumbs on one hand?

I came here after watching Hometown Cha Cha Cha:)

Beautiful!!! I now dream of going there 🥰

[sethraelthebard]

What the Shaman said about Baikal being blessed by Mother Nature is no idle musing. That Lake is more than a geological feature. Baikal is Sacred.

Que paisagem tão estonteante ...É de facto surpreendente mesmo longe as acções reflectem-se e entoam pelo planeta num efeito borboleta!! As pessoas não se dão conta?? Pena o vídeo ser curto ...Para conhecermos mais esta maravilha e com mais segredos desvendados!!

This lake has deeply fascinated me ever since I first read about it many years ago' just imagine what's down there that we don't even know about' puts the 5 US lakes in to perspective by sheer volume alone' just astonishing

It just looks like normal lakes like others. However, I was surprised as this lake is the deepest and oldest lake in the Earth. It is a regrettable issue that wild animals which inhabit there become extinct and disappear recently for various reasons including environmental pollution. I think that I have to be interested in the problems and issues of Baikal lake to preserve the Baikal lake that gives us a beautiful view and an ecosystem there.

You managed to uncover zero mysteries in this video. Give yourself a double facepalm.

[jamestroyer]

people say they saw Flames reaching to the sky, and these people are from million of years ago?

[Maliceuk]

I was hoping for more. Are there any better videos out there?

[johndunno]

Really like to see my own country here! Sometimes I need second look to recognise but it's always pleasant

[mattatk]

This is the lake where the Russian divers supposedly encountered aliens in.

Apparently lasting evolutionary traits take about a million years to form, so it makes sense that native life exists only in this lake.
