The oldest and deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal is truly one of Russia’s must-see natural features. It contains about 20% of the world’s unfrozen surface fresh water and reaches 5,387 feet into the earth at its deepest point. Two-thirds of its 1,700 species of plants and animals don’t exist anywhere else in the world. Referred to as the ‘Pearl of Siberia’, Lake Baikal is a popular tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
