• Secrets of the lake

Baikal is beautiful. No wonder his name is not Siberian lake and the sea - what is this lake, with a certain area! Through unusually clear lake water can be seen as well as through ordinary air. But there is here and its secrets, most of which scientists are unable to solve.

Mirage

Mirages are not only in the desert, but also in the vast lake. Local residents often see here castles, sunken ships and entire islands.

Ice ring

A ring with a diameter of up to several kilometers, were formed on the ice of Lake Baikal in 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2009. They can be seen only from space. Most likely, they appear guilty of methane emissions, but this is not accurate.
