I am a 77 years old Geologist, Lake Baikal has a very special place in my heart. This is where a Plate is breaking apart creating the deepest (+ 5,000') fresh water lake in the world. I am not surprised that they experience EQ (earth quakes) so frequently, this seismic activity is the direct result of the Plate rupture. Unlike Caspian & Aral Lakes which are salt water lakes, Baikal is not, only because Baikal has an outlet (river exiting), that does not let salt accumulate in the water. It is my last wish to see Baikal and take the Trans-Siberian Train.
Lake Baikal is so beautiful.. I stayed at a homestead on Olkhon island in the lake...an amazing experience which I recommend to all...Itkutsk is a beautiful city too!!!
I watched a Russian scientist in a documentary who said that lake Baikal can feed the whole world for 50 years, and also that the lake takes about 300 years to renew its water. Fascinating Nature.
Beautiful video and country. Siberia is just like where I live, in the USA, southwest Montana. You are so brave to go out and make these videos. I love learning about your massive and interesting country of Russia. I have always had a great interest in anything Russian. Especially the older music, literature, and cultute. In how people live, especially in the small villages. I love Rachmaninov's music and Chekov's writing . I am a great grandmother. There is much to share about my culture and much I want to learn about yours. Please keep making these videos. I will share them with my grand daughter who is a wildlife biologist in California. I will be 80 years old this year. Thank you, and stay safe and well. Warm regards from a grandma in Montana. You are a beautiful young lady.
I read about Baikal in Geography and History book only in my childhood. Now today I saw the same in your video. Thanks a lot. By the way in my childhood I used to read one Russian magazine named "Sputnik". I am always fascinated by Russia and it's technoloigcal progress. I like your way of talking,explaining. Whenever I saw you there is a smile on my face. Prayag India
Have you visited? It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm also a massive follower of this channel and I also create vlogs about life in Russia. However the youtube algorithm has actually not been as great to me yet. Almost all those that watches my vlogs claims that it is very good, yet very few are able to watch it. Can you be extremely straight up and inform me how I can improve my vlogs? I value your sincere viewpoint.
Siberia, a sacred land where all living and non-living things, the rivers, mountains, lakes have spirits and life is eternal. Thank you for this stunning video.
Hello from Oregon USA! Also known as The Pacific North West. Just found your video's. Really enjoy seeing a small look at life in a vastly different places and peoples. Wish I could travel all over the world! Good luck and have fun! Thanks for sharing!
Like the saying goes- "When life gives you lemons make lemonade", that's exactly what Eli is doing, nothing is stoping her for having a great time even in -16 degrees celsius 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 U GO Girl!!!!!! Love your videos❤
Из (сейчас) USSA - Миннесота ....... От всего сердца .... Спасибо за Байкал, за катание. Я становлюсь эмоциональным, когда вижу это ... Я не привыкать к зиме, катанию на коньках, льду. Ух ты, Байкал! Спасибо.

Greetings from Florida, U.S.A. The Lake Baikal landscape is absolutely breathtaking. That is definitely how winter should be. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
I know it's probably not all fun and games, but you seem to have such a great time. The fun and laughter are infectious. I feel like I'm there. It's so beautiful it's crazy.
It's great that you love Russia. It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm likewise a massive fan of this channel and I too make content to do with life in Russia. Unfortunately the youtube algorithm has actually not been as courteous to me yet. Practically everybody who watches my channel states that it is top notch, yet not many are able to watch it. Can you be extremely truthful and tell me just how I can improve my vlogs? I value your sincere point of view.
This is gorgeous! Baikal is a fascinating and wonderful location in the world, but its nice seeing some culture as well that I'm very unfamiliar with. Thank you!
@@thomasashmore507 Lol I didn't mean it that way. It's not appriopriate to joke about it. I hope this horrible war wil be over soon and that Ukrainian (and good Russian) citizens will be fine. As for putin coming to Poland I know there's a chance no one will help us. We were left once already. I hope Poland won't have to see how much the alliance with the US and the rest of the West is actually worth.
@@alwa4735 I live in Canada and there are far worse things awaiting you in the west that you'd face if Putin came to Poland, one of my ancestral homelands FWIW.
thank you for your extremely beautiful video. Your videos are wonderful, magical. You are really an intelligent and cultivated young woman who knows how to present your country. An amazing video ! Marie from France
Nice intro by Alan Watts ! You do not only make great and sensitive videos, you seem to have discovered some of the important wisdom of life. Amazing when considering your young age. Congratulations.
I think this was my favorite video of yours. Probably because of the beauty of the area . I live in Phoenix, Arizona so it’s nice to see such a different landscape and wonderful people. Peace and Joy to the World 🙏👌😊☮️
I live in Sydney Australia, but I have a good language friend who lives in Irkutsk, and has a dacha near the Lake. He was a soldier in the Soviet Army, now he is my best Russian language friend. He sends me videos of he and his family travelling to Lake Baikal and surrounding country. I’m too old now but I would have loved to have visited Lake Baikal and Irkutsk. Oh, and by the way, 25 degrees C is NOT hot. Come to the Australian outback in summer for “hot”.
Eli! I just found out your channel and I fell in love how you tell the things about Russia. I was in 2018 and it was one of my best trips in my life. With this video you remind me why I want to see Baikal, but above all, you remind me why I like so much Russia. Unfortunately everything what is happening now doesn't make the trips easy there, but I promise to myself to come back one day again.
Dear Eli Yet again another superb video, and this time on Baikal. Do the Russian authorities know the amazing job that you are doing for International relations, I think you sound be awarded the Lenin medal for your unbiased reporting. Congratulations and the more of your videos that I see, the more I want to be there. Greetings from Cornwall, England.
Beautiful nature and the ice is beautiful too . Wow the lake makes a interesting sound . That is a new sound to me . Thanks for sharing this place on video . 🙂
Greetings from American Canyon, USA. BEAUTIFUL video!!! My wife and I came across your video while reading our "Daily Bread" and it mentioned Lake Baikal. Thank you so much for the video!
I subscribed your channel because of your English which I can understand every word. Thank you. 😊 quality of your video is fantastic and I really feel the ice and loved to hear the sound of ice breaking.
Reminds me of Lake Superior which has about the same temperatures. Unbelievably cystal clear water that is so deep. Yet you can see the Lakes bottom at certain places. It's amazing! I was there with my brother 41 years ago when I was 22 years old. I never forgot it. You know, I have only noticed you smile when your ice skating. You must really enjoy it.
One would never have to worry about breaking the ice with you, would one? 😁 You film such incredibly interesting, beautiful subjects. Thank you and GOD bless you from England. ❤️❤️ Matthew.
I love your channel. My wife is Russian and we have traveled to Russia many times although never to Baikal. It’s definitely on our bucket list of places to visit.
Now a days due to illness I am at home. Luckily I saw your many videos. I fell in love with snow of Russia. Thank you so much for these videos. Unbelievable beautiful Russia.
I've been in russia twice this was on on my bucket list but due to long distance i couldn't make it but you gave me goosebumps, this place is immensely beautiful and I would definitely go there one day and of course you are so amazing and i love your narration

Some in China want to build a huge canal to tap into this water source for long distance agriculture.

Amazingly overwhelming presence of natural peace. All that and Pushkin, Akhmatova, and Pasternak as well. Just awesome.
Очень понравилось , Элли ! Ты делала именно то , о чем я мечтал на Байкале : лежать и ползать по льду , глядя на дно ! А ещё кататься на коньках !
