Lake Baikal, Russia. The Earth's Blue Eye
Description
Situated in southeast Siberia, the 12,000-square-mile Lake Baikal is the oldest (25 million years) and deepest (5,500 feet) lake in the world. It contains 20% of the world's total unfrozen freshwater reserve. Known as the "Galapagos of Russia," its age and isolation have produced some of the world's richest and most unusual freshwater fauna, which is of exceptional value to evolutionary science.
