Baikal
Today i want to tell about Baikal ("Бай-Куль" (Bai-Kul) - rich lake). It is the deepest lake in the world. It is in Russia in the south of Eastern Siberia. Its area is equal the area of Belgium! Traditionally local residents call Baikal by sea. It is the sea from which you can drink!
But it's not the most amazing. The other day I read about Baikal. I learned, the lake has 30 islands! Olkhon is the largest island. Its length is 73 km, its width is 13 km. Olkhon is big enough and it has its lakes! And one of them is salty.
But the island has no rivers, only brooks.
Paradoxically, but the island in the center of Lake Baikal has a problem with water. "10 drops per hour is a typical local rain" write in the guide book. And the waters of Lake Baikal nobody can't get because steep rocks are too high.
They say, autum there is just beautiful. At this time coast is empty almost. The island is coated a yellow carpet of grasses. The Forest is in of colors of autumn. Olkhon with its beautiful bays and picturesque rocks stand under of Baikal waves in the waiting for the severe Siberian winter.

I've been on Olkhon this year in winter and I used to get water from the lake. In the capital (Khuzhir), the lake is accessible. But on the other side of the island, on the south shore, the cliffs are too sheer to get water from Baikal.
