In order to reach Olkhon Island, we had to cross Lake Baikal. In early May, the lake is still frozen, but it is starting to thaw.
Located in Siberian Russia, Lake Baikal is the world's deepest lake, containing 1/5 of the world's fresh water. It is home to numerous species which live only in the waters of Baikal.
