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.
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.
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!
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.
@@vladimir-kharin Occasionally they reach 100%, but usually only for a few days. They often are 80% frozen or so, especially the smaller, shallower ones like Lake Erie. You can often drive automobiles on Lake Superior, also, but the weather is variable here and some days they (especially snowmobiles) fall through.
@@FTH_SUAK All people are Native to everywhere in my opinion. It wasn't that long ago that all land was connected / Pangea. Trying to say anyone is more native then another is a form of colonial racism.
I love Russia and all the different Russians and the incredible landscaps - I really hope the war can be in the past soon and we can all focus on loving each other again as we all know we really do
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.
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!
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.
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 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”.
L'intro con la profonda e rassicurante voce di Alan Watts è un colpo artistico. Un uomo incredibile. Bellissimo video cmq, ti seguo con ammirazione Eli, ciao!
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 . 🙂
@@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.
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.
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.
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 🙏👌😊☮️

Eli, I didn't even watch the video yet but just looking at the thumbnail I wanted to say you look ABSOLUTELY beautiful in blue!!! it matches so perfectly with your red/orange colouring. I think blue and orange are complementary on the colour wheel. I think if you wear green it would also look gorgeous. Well, any colour would look gorgeous but the blue was really extremely stunning. Thank you for sharing your videos!
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!
Wow, Eli. That was a beautiful and inspirational opening to your video! Beautiful country there in Siberia. You certainly are a courageous and adventurous young woman. With a sense of humor too.
Lake Baikal is an amazing place! My mother had the chance to see it with her own eyes when she was taking a ride on the world-famous Transsib (Transsiberian Railway) which started in Berlin (Germany) all the way to Lake Baikal (Burjat Republic in Russian Federation), Ulan Bataar (capital of Mongolia), Beijing (capital of China) and Shanghai (China). It was expensive but a once-in-a-lifetime-chance you don't wanna miss!

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

Wonderful place!!!!!! Grazie per farci vedere questa meraviglia della Russia!
This video is excellent. Your English is perfect. Lake Baikal is stunning and I love how thick and clear the ice is. Greetings from Scotland.
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 !
LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Will be waiting for more VLOGS!!! : )))
Now I want to go to Lake Baikal even MORE!
Everything looks so beautiful. I would love to skate on that lake. The ice looks as beautiful as any ice in a ring. Absolutely magnificent.
