If you’ve ever visited the world’s deepest freshwater lake, or ever wanted to, Baikalogy is the blog for you.
With regular posts and videos about Baikal as well as feature (Spotlight) articles, you’ll find that Baikalogy is a treasure trove filled with snippets of information about the most beautiful lake in the world. The sidebar links are also a great starting point for anyone who wants to learn more about this fascinating place.
For example, did you know that Baikal contains 20% of the world’s freshwater and has more water than all the US Great Lakes combined?
My favourite posts so far? Spotlight on Nerpa, the long-lived seals native to Baikal that is unique in that it spends its whole life in and around freshwater. And Spotlight on Baikal Environmental Wave, the organisation founded back in the 70s by Jennifer Sutton, a British woman who made her life in Irkutsk.
Plug Your Russia Blog
I’m always on the lookout for new blogs about Russia. If you write one, or know of one, let me know, and I’ll write a brief introductory post here on Siberian Light.
