Lake Baikal

 

Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal is an immense freshwater expanse of 31,722 square kilometres under UNESCO protection. It is known for its unique ecosystems and pristine drinking water. Due to climate change, the lake's surface temperature during the summers of recent years has increased significantly, triggering numerous surface eutrophication effects and threatening the biodiversity of this fragile and precious ecosystem.

What is the oldest lake in the world?

Lake Baikal is the largest, oldest, and deepest freshwater lake in the world

    Lake Baikal, the world’s oldest and deepest freshwater lake, curves for nearly 400 miles through south-eastern Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. At its deepest point it is over 5,000 feet (1,637 meters) deep.

    It is the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume. It contains about 5,521 cubic miles of water (23,013 cubic kilometers), or approximately 20% of Earth's fresh surface water. This is a volume of water approximately equivalent to all five of the North American Great Lakes combined.

Kutcherla lake in Altai Russia

 

Thanks to Anastasia sent 17.03.13

    Lake Kutcherla is a lake in Altai in the Russian Federation. It is located on the northern slopes of the Katun Mountains in the Altai Republic, above the river of the same name.
It is one of the most important glacial lakes of the region.
    The lake is surrounded by subalpine and alpine vegetation, with the mountain slopes covered with conifers. Siberian ibex can be found here, which unfortunately are subject to poaching. The rare snow leopard sometimes appears in the area. The fish that live in its waters are mainly grayling and rainbow trout.
    The lake with the emerald color of its waters is a popular destination for both Russian and foreign hiking expeditions. It is a part of the Katun Nature Reserve and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
