I want to go. This looks like an amazing place. I just found out that it exists. 20% of the worlds fresh water? Wow this is the most important place on earth. Is there anything more precious than fresh water?

Mars says no. Venus agrees. The moon does too!

I have skated on a lake here in Canada when it was frozen and before it was covered in snow and I gotta say that there is no more amazing feeling than that. Also when you are skating, you are warm. -25 is of little consequence. The sleep on the ice would be pretty chilly though. You would need a nice down sleeping bag and a large bottle of vodka!

What an experience! When I was young I learned to skate at Rockefeller Center. After that I became a lake skater, skating on a lake is harder. I remember flying across that lake for hours with my sisters. My Grandfather would comment on my cherry nose and apple cheeks. I would have loved the experience of skating and camping out on the lake!

I'm sure these folks wouldn't appreciate it, but I would love to take my snowmobile across that lake. I could probably get close to 250kph on that clear ice.

I wonder if the ice in Lake Baikal’s thick enough to drive a monster truck over it!

I'd like to ice skate there and play music from Yuri!!! on Ice at the same time with someone holding a handheld portable speaker.
