I remember waking up at 6.30am on the Trans Siberian (from Moscow) and looked out the window and saw the most beautiful icy lake, Baikal. The train snakes along the south end of the lake, right up against the edge! And then on the other side of the train, was the most gorgeous snow capped Tunkinskiy mountains. I told myself I would never ever forget this moment! Once in a lifetime.
I had the same experience, though the lake wasn't covered with ice, in October 1979 on my way from Europe to Japan by train and boat. It was wonderful. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera and have no photos to remind myself what it looked like. -- I don't think I will ever get to go there again, so it's once in a lifetime for me too.
IF BAIKAL WATER IS PURE THESE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT GO THERE .AS THERE PEE AND POO OR EVEN HUMAN PRESENCE THERE CAN BRING THOUSANDS OF HUMAN BACTERIA AND VIRUS THERE .LEAVE THAT FOR GOD SAKE
It would drive me nuts thinking about everything I miss when I'm not looking outside, or it's dark out. Though I'm sure there are a lot of long stretches of nothing, or very repedetive, dull terrain. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Since my childhood I've been fascinated by Russia and its stories about forests, wilderness, cold and snow and people living there. I want to visit Russia at least once in my lifetime.... love from India.😊
Being Canadian, though I was born and raised in Toronto, which is relatively mild all winter. because we had a cottage three hours north of the city, my father would often take us on long road trips in the winter in the summer. The far north in winter might not seem appealing to a lot of people, but there is a certain serene beauty that has no description. It’s just you, and nature, nothing else. The sound is the wind blowing across the frozen lakes, and that incredible sound the ice makes as you walk on it, is almost a mystical experience. I used to love going up there, just to re-center myself. Some of my most beautiful memories were at the cottage sitting by the campfire at night, in the dead of winter, not a soul in sight for a hundred miles or more. The only sound being the crackling of the fire, and that quiet hum of nothingness, then looking up and being completely Surrounded by a sky filled with millions of stars, and if it was a full moon, the moon light bouncing off the snow, making it glisten like diamonds, it was absolutely perfect moment in time. Living in the city can be pretty chaotic, especially Toronto, which is a pretty big city. Going up north, especially in the winter, has its own ability to heal your soul. Again it’s difficult to put into words, but it is beautiful in so many ways I can’t even describe.
What I hate the most about winter is probably the lack of light. Not that the day is better than the night, not quite, but rather how often the little sunlight our northern hemisphere gets in winter is often obscured or marred by obstructive clouds. Great wintry nights especially with a radiant moon cannot be experienced when opaque wisps float through the field of view. If it's snowing it's not fun, if it's clear and calm it's tolerable lol

Ugh I can’t stop thinking about diving in through that small square opening. What if you go down and trying to get back, all you see is ice and can’t find the opening?? Nope!
This is a truly fascinating documentary, but there is one minor thing to clarify: neutrinos do not travel "at" the speed of light. Nothing can travel at the speed of light except light itself; Relativity has taught us that. Neutrinos do, however, travel very close to the speed of light and are emitted from an exploding star before the star actually explodes. That's why we can detect neutrinos before we see the star explosion. Again, just wanted to clarify a minor point. 🌌

Winter is not “eternal”, just severe and long. Summer on Baikal is spectacularly beautiful. To see those Russian faces again, warms my heart, and the Wazik (the go-anywhere van). I doubt even the smartest of those green fingered creatures can “clean” a Wazik out of the water. Let’s not forget there are some serious pollution threats to Baikal.

When I was in the school I read about lake Baikal....seeing lake in this documentary is very nice. Russia is a very beautiful country ....it's citizens very brave
Historical fact: Baikal Lake area is one of the most tragic history for Mongolians. In 1675, Russia was started to genocide Buryat’s (Mongolian ethnic group native whose lived in northeastern Mongolia). They killed 60% of population of Buryat’s and take their country which is included Baikal Lake. Baikal (Байгаль) means “nature” in Mongolia. And that lake connected by Selenge lake and Khuvsgul Lake.
Hard to find a nation that got no troubles with europeans since 17th century. its like an endless waves, in 13th it was the Mongolian empire spreading all over Eurasia.
Americans would have cut down all the trees, built 20 resorts and 1000 houses, drilled for oil, caught all the fish, killed all the wild life, and dumped tons of sewage in the lake.
I first heard this lake on the movie The Way Back2010", them prisoners way back the second world war who escaped Siberian gulag and passed by this lake, a great story of survival
Oh! That was a great movie, I didn’t remember the lake in it, will have to watch again. I just remember when he got to that bridge and a guard was there.
Yes I remember that beautiful movie . I also remember they went through the desert also where they were not able to get the fresh water to drink . They should hv taken some from this Lake .
I had never heard of this lake until now. I searched for the underwater filter animal called goupki and couldn't find it anywhere. What a treasure in the middle of Siberia. I could only imagine what the night sky above this lake looks like.
Because Hollywood / Western Media only make Movies and Documentaries with Mafia Russians, Russians with missing teeth or Russians who are thieves/ super criminal and cruel villain. Its called Brainwash and Social Engineering of the masses - Made in USA.
WONDERFUL! It has been years since I was at/on this lake. A beautiful part of Siberia...thanks to our guide Baata from Mongolia. These people who are exploring the lake are heroes; fantastic; keep up the good work! Best wishes from the land of Oz.
With a lake that deep, there must be a huge amount of unique biodiversity within. One can imagine the metabolites produced by some of these creatures and organisms could be extremely useful - who knows, maybe the cure to cancer is within one of those weird creatures? Hence, I think it would be a great place for marine science research.

Great video. Much better than most crap on tv. And I love the “purest water in the world” then the mans old van sinks lol

Slice hits like early 2000's docus. on point.
I had never heard of this lake until now. I searched for the underwater filter animal called goupki and couldn't find it anywhere. What a treasure in the middle of Siberia. I could only imagine what the night sky above this lake looks like.
their scientific name is Lubomirskiidae, if you wanted to explore therm some more :)
Because Hollywood / Western Media only make Movies and Documentaries with Mafia Russians, Russians with missing teeth or Russians who are thieves/ super criminal and cruel villain. Its called Brainwash and Social Engineering of the masses - Made in USA.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubomirskia_baikalensis
I know invasive species are generally bad, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some goupki sponges in the Great Lakes of the US.
@@mikeellafrits6783No it will destroy your lakes
What will be more important in the future: Fresh Water or Oil? I think it's fresh water.
Baikal is far deeper than 637 Meters. It is 1641 meters at its deepest point.
It's 1,642 meters deep, not 637.
WONDERFUL! It has been years since I was at/on this lake. A beautiful part of Siberia...thanks to our guide Baata from Mongolia. These people who are exploring the lake are heroes; fantastic; keep up the good work! Best wishes from the land of Oz.

Purest water on earth...can you back that claim up?
Yes, its called 'science' and its very easy to google.
Bet it would make a great cup of Australian Joey with that pure clean water. Yum.
@@jerrybartlett7479 ok mate 😂😂😂😂😂
637 meters. That's 696 yards. 348 fathoms.
Traditionalist. Depth should be measured in fathoms.
I came from Hometown Cha Cha Cha 🤭😳
Goupki means lips and/or sponges in russian 😁
Anyone else who came to know about this lake only after watching hometown cha cha🤣🤣
Minus 50 degree in winter .great video.
Hometown Cha Cha brought me here! 🥰💚💚💚
With a lake that deep, there must be a huge amount of unique biodiversity within. One can imagine the metabolites produced by some of these creatures and organisms could be extremely useful - who knows, maybe the cure to cancer is within one of those weird creatures?
Hence, I think it would be a great place for marine science research.
