🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️

-THE BITCOIN BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Lake Baikal, in Eastern Siberia, Russia, is the world's deepest lake, plunging 1,642 meters and holding 20% of Earth's freshwater. Spanning an area similar to Belgium, it boasts unparalleled biodiversity, with many endemic species and exceptionally pure, oxygen-rich waters.

Known as “The Sacred Sea” and “The Blue Eye of Siberia,” Baikal is surrounded by stunning landscapes, including Olkhon Island. It offers year-round activities: hiking, fishing, and yachting in summer, or skiing and ice skating in winter.

Accessible via a flight to Irkutsk and a short drive, Lake Baikal is a natural wonder offering an unforgettable experience.

That's deep! Wow, I wonder if they sent a submersible down there? Maybe it's the mythical entrance to hollow earth 😂

Interesting to find out if it's ever been explored with a sub.

Yes, multiple submersibles have been to Lake Baikal, including the Mir-1 and Mir-2, and a Pisces submersible.

Explanation

In July 2008, the Mir-1 and Mir-2 submersibles descended to a depth of 1,580 meters (5,223 ft) to the bottom of Lake Baikal. The submersibles were used to conduct geological and biological tests.

In 1990, Anatoly Sagalevich descended to a depth of 1,637 meters (5,371 ft) in Lake Baikal in a Pisces submersible, setting the record for the deepest freshwater dive.

Russian president Vladimir Putin also descended to the lake floor in the Mir submersible in 2009.

James Cameron also dived beneath Lake Baikal.

Lake Baikal is the world's deepest freshwater lake and is located in Siberia, Russia.
