LAKEBAIKAL
Baikal is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. It is in the heart of Asia. It is twice as large as lake Ladoga. The area of this lake is as large as Belgium or Holland.

Baikal is 636 (six hundred and thirty-six) kilometres long, from 25 (twenty five) km to 79 (seventy-nine) km wide and 1,741 (one thousand seven hundred and forty one) m deep. It is the deepest lake in the world. Baikal has very much water, its volume is more than the volume of water in the Baltic Sea.

The water of Baikal is cold. It is colder than the water of so many other lakes. Baikal is more beautiful than other Siberian lakes. The scenery around its shores is as beautiful as that of the Caucasus. The climate here is colder than the climate of the Caucasus. Do you know that more than 300 (three hundred) rivers flow into this lake and only one river, the Angara, flows out? This river carries a tremendous volume of water, it is very powerful and deep, and has a very strong current, much stronger than the current of the Volga.
