ice on lake baikal
Ice is a BIG reason to travel to Lake Baikal! Lake Baikal is the deepest and largest lake in the world, with the purest water. It only freezes completely in late February and then begins to melt at the end of March. The ice thickness varies everywhere, from half a meter to several meters. The most picturesque ice is on and around Olkhon Island.
sound of ice
During the day, the sun shines brightly and, in the evening, after sunset, the ice cools down sharply and begins to make sounds, as if it is about to open up. But the ice is quite strong and durable, which is why locals have no qualms moving across it by cars (and even take tourists on rides!)
