1. Every winter, Lake Baikal freezes.
The water in the lake is very clear, and you can see the bottom of the rock 40 meters deep. Ice will form in winter, forming strange shapes.
In addition, there are real ice palaces and caves, which will not melt until spring. When the storm is particularly strong, it will form an ice cave like a cave. In the cave, because of the evaporation of water, "fluffy" icicles are produced. The picture is dreamy and beautiful.
Visitors can arrive here, then put on skates or ride sledges. Some people can sleep in tents on the ice. Interestingly, because the lake freezes in different ways, coming here every year gives people a brand-new feeling.
In the severe frost, the sound of lake Baikal cracking sounds like thunder. Ice gap10-30km long and 2-3m wide. Because of this, the fish in the lake will not die because of lack of oxygen.
2. Lake Baikal is not aging.
Scientists believe that Lake Baikal has a history of 25 to 35 million years. But Lake Baikal will not get old, on the contrary, it will only get bigger and bigger, even though its maximum depth now exceeds 1600 meters.
The wind in Lake Baikal is very strong. Just like other typhoons and hurricanes, the wind here has its own names, such as Balguzin, Kurtuk and Vilhovic. But the strongest wind in Lake Baikal is samar. Its hurricane gust reaches 60 meters per second, which can knock down the roofs of houses, tear trees off the ground and bring cows and boats parked on the shore into the lake. Therefore, Lake Baikal does not seem to be a traditional lake.
3. The source of seals in Lake Baikal is still a mystery.
How the seals in Lake Baikal got there is still a mystery. It is the only seal in the world that lives in fresh water. You know, the nearest place to find seals is the Arctic Ocean. In order to reach the lake, seals have to cross 55,000 kilometers along two rivers, crossing the Yenisei River and the fast-flowing Angara River and its rapids, and even ships cannot pass. Even if seals overcome this difficult road, they can't know that the destination ahead is Lake Baikal, and scientists can't explain why.
Due to the existence of unique crustaceans, the water is very clear.
Lake Baikal's unique pure water is close to distillation, and all this is because of the existence of a unique crustacean.
This 1.5mm creature is invisible to the naked eye. It feeds on organic substances (bacteria, algae and other substances) and cleans water.
5. In addition to Lake Baikal, there are 1500 kinds of native plants and fish that cannot be found anywhere else.
Lake Baikal is home to about 2,600 species of life, more than half of which can't be found anywhere else. In addition to the famous seals, there are also viviparous shellfish, which the locals say "melt in the sun". Because it looks almost transparent: viviparous shellfish have no scales, and the spine and blood vessels can be seen through the skin. It is made up of one third of fat, and this fish is viviparous.
6. You can hike along the shore of Lake Baikal.
If you go to Lake Baikal, you can walk along the hiking trail along the shore of the lake, which is not inferior to the Lake Baikal glacier. You can go to Xiaohai (a part of Lake Baikal, separated by Orhon Island) or take a walk along the train and railway around Lake Baikal.
The trains around Lake Baikal were built in the early 20th century and passed through dozens of rock tunnels.
The roads here are in disrepair, but the railway around Lake Baikal is still one of the most popular tourist destinations.
