- A documentary on the Lake Baikal which is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world, containing 22 to 23% of the world's fresh surface water. With 23,615.39 km3 (5,670 cu mi) of fresh water, it contains more water than all of the North American Great Lakes combined. With a maximum depth of 1,642 m (5,387 ft), Baikal is the world's deepest lake. It is considered among the world's clearest lakes and is considered the world's oldest lake, at 25-30 million years. It is the seventh-largest lake in the world by surface area.
Lake Baikal is a rift lake located in southern Siberia, Russia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and the Buryat Republic to the southeast.
That's enough water to fill 23 billion Olympic Size Pools. You're welcome, I'm sure that make it easier to visualize. It's quite easy to picture 23 billion swimming pools in your mind
They always do that on those dumb "science is fun" videos where they speak to the audience as if they are toddlers. The whole thing is stupid, just tell me how many gallons. Why do you think picturing several thousand swimming pool is easier than picturing several million gallons? And anyways, most people don't even know how big an "Olympic size" is. Is there even a standard and are all "Olympic sized" the same? Trust me, you're gonna hear this idiotic comparison all the time now
@@MarvinMonroe Olympic pools are standardized but you are right
@@noahnoah2747 depth standardized? I read it differs
@@MarvinMonroe dang I thought I remembered a gallon limit and quota but your research is fresher
Of course, I've seen 23 billion swimming pools before.
I really want to visit Lake Baikal, even more after all the stories I've heard.
What are the stories?
@@lidyaayupratiwi4677 aliens
@@lidyaayupratiwi4677 used condoms all over the lake. Probably from aliens
Usually how it works. The more stories you hear that you like, the more you wana go. Not like youd get down that far, but it is over 1 mile deep in parts.
@@lidyaayupratiwi4677 yes
One of the greatest natural wonders of our planet. I’m in awe of this lake.
Our natural world is endlessly fascinating
A world to itself! Fascinating lake.
What a fantastic documentary about this pearl of nature! Thank you! This lake is so beautiful and awe - inspiring at the same time. Now it makes me go and visit.
This a fascinating world habitat and environmental treasure.
Great to see there was no political bs and no negativity about soviet past or life in Russia in general. Salute!
I've been in it! Its an amazing place. Can't imagine I'll go back any time soon sadly :(
@Gengrik Yagoda not true
I went in September 2022. I just went via Turkey.
This lake has fascinated me since first hearing of it... Hope to travel there someday-- peace between United States & Russia, please!
I can thoroughly recommend it. I went in September 2022. I just went via Turkey. Visa is easy to get. People won't give you any hassle. In fact, people were very curious to talk to me and hear what I thought of it there and what it's like where I'm from.
Are we at war?
@@tysonatkins2236yes
I enjoyed this greatly.
Me too😶
@@annedrieck7316 👍
👍
Thanks it's amazing.
breathtaking, stop war, start tourism, let the world see beauty of russia.
Great documentary
Jh
Simply amazing thank you 🙏
Nice!!
Great video Way better than Discoveries Crapola
I think about the first people travelling and came upon this lake like, now what do we do?
Its friggin massive. Guess you'd have to just follow the shore line
Aww this seal is so cute
Nicely well explained
Awazome.beautiful
Very interesting!
Great dokumentar
Million thanks...vert much wonderful
vert?
Nice
Wow!
Russia is amazingly beautiful ❤️
Everything besides their political environment tho, it's a shame that such a beautiful biodiverse land is inhabitated by subhuman commie trash
70% of the species found in the lake being endemic is insane
Calm feelings
Lots of sea monster sightings
Coolest Lake EVER!
that's your opinion
18:40 it’s a fact! The temperature even at the top never goes above a chilly 10 degrees Celsius.
so without the sand soil and dead animals its depth would be over 29,000 ft deep....reverse it and it would be the size of Mt Everest thats crazy
The baikal sponges reminds me of a coral reef
Science is amazing
Freshwater mixed with salt ice forming almost 2 feet
Ngl the seals are cute
I really feel bad for that bicycle sea pub's helpless screams 😢😭
So beautiful. I live near her sister lake (lake Tahoe) and have always been entranced by it. This is a totally different monster though.
I stayed on Olkhon island in Lake Baikal. I sat on the shore at sunset one evening, looking out over a vast expanse of flat water, featureless hills and mountains. It was a surreal experience. I couldn't have felt further from home and I loved it!
Do the fish have microphones on them or something?! Seriously how is it possible to just record the sounds of tiny fish?! Fascinating!
This lake has witnessed the conservation of prehistoric species such as sturgeon fish...
Great lakes probably had seals too but they ate em all 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Probably not because of how new the lakes are ok scale they wouldn't have time to evolve. Could introduce Baikal Seals but it would ruin the ecosystem
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Poor thing seal screams😢😢😢😢😢
12.00. anybody else see it?
Ya, I noticed it too while watching and NASA in the credits at the end so there you go
💜💋
What?
I’m feeling… thirsty
Too many polluted factories now days around it
As amazing as it is that Lake Baikal contains more water than all the Great Lakes combined or twice as much water as Lake Superior that's not even the big thing. This lake is home to 1000 endemic species - the Great Lakes have none.
Lake Tanganiyka (also a fault lake) contains 1 1/2 times as much water as Lake Superior but half of the water is brackish.
A tsunami on Lakes Superior and Ontario is not impossible but so unlikely that we can safely say it won't happen. On the other hand, if earthquakes happen regularly on Lake Baikal, don't tsunamis actually happen?
I knows a crazy but here's a thought. Is it possible to create artificial oceans in dry arid regions like Arizona or Texas
Yes, all you have to do is recreate the Earth and place 🌊 north Mexico. I would do it and show you, but I busy on Instagram
its not impossible my brother
but how eager ae u to see that becoming true is the rea question
Yeah, it would be quite the engineering feat. You would also have to make sure that it doesn’t evaporate in a matter of months.
They’ve already done it with lakes 🤷🏾♂️
It's pretty much already been tried with the Salton sea, and that is a miserable place with a pungent and inescapable odor of rotting fish.
lake Baikal is 12,248 miles and lake superior is 0.2523 miles so
Miles away from him!
The cleaning system re: water turnover sounds like the Great Lakes process on steroids.
Since there are so man invasive species in the Great Lakes they might as well add some more from Lake Baikal that filter the water like the sponges (giodia?).😅😅😅😅😅😂
Left one pretty important feature out of this doc. Lake baikal is so large with such clear, perfectly frozen water. This at times creates, quite possibly the most perfect natural mirror from above.
One would think 🤔 that would not be the case . Hmmmm...wonder why is not concave? So odd. Should be curvature.
Mirrors can be curvy
I wold love to swim it on a hot day! Prob will never happen

Is this Richard Dawkins narrating?
The largest lake is Capsian
thats a sea
@@TheSherrod the caspian sea is lake. Learn geography 😂
@@lovelyroses4924 When they say “largest” they’re talking about maximum depth, which in that regard the Caspian Sea isn’t even close
This lake may not be the deepest freshwater lake after all. There's now evidence the largest known active supervolcano, Lake Toba, may be deeper.
Lake Toba was thought to be about 1,600 ft deep at it's deepest until a disaster in 2018 where a ferry sank. During the aftermath of the sinking, they apparently found evidence Toba is up to 5,200 ft deep, which is lower than Baikal, but barely.
It's a difference of less than 200ft. Within a range of errors. Maybe it's not quite as deep as the deepest sounding/reading, or maybe it's deeper.
Point being, Toba has yet to be thoroughly surveyed. Before that ferry sank, conventional wisdom held it wasn't even 2,000 ft deep. Now there's decent evidence it's in fact more than double the depth as previously thought. That's close enough to warrant more thorough investigation (if we really want to know).
Toba is not deep it's only 500 m
Va rog in romana
No no no. That lake scares me.
it's a spooky sight in person too!
31:20 light it on fire, light it on fire, light it on fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🙏
Its not the largest ; Lake victoria in East Africa is the largest ; shared by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania
When they say largest, deepest lake, they mean by water volume. No other lake in the world holds as much water as lake Baikal:)
@@amyjennthg123 Alright; thank you !
Lake Superior exceeds lake baikal and Victoria in surface area of water but baikal is like a giant deep crack in the earth it holds so much more water than Lake Superior and victoria
Great program but too much d*** music
HOW GREAT GOD IS!!!
Where did the word god originate? In my culture we translated it to creator.
What?
@@urbanwarchief yeah God is creator
Amen!
God doesn't exist

Crank from hells angels brought me here as in bathtub..from the 80s... pink yellow brown..found dwn town from prostys in gowns as in prostitutes and clowns
Rather bland documentary and an incredibly fascinating place. It never gave us any insight or details about what we were seeing.
Beautiful lake but kinda disappointed it’s 25 million years old yet it’s pretty boring no crazy ancient looking fish or even anything of impressive size. Figured why there’s so little interest in this lake .
Look up "the swimmers of lake baikal"
I agree, they should release crocodiles and pirahnas into it.
Easy to talk bs from comfort of ur computer, go there in person and see if its still boring to you
9 minutes in: Somehow I'd hoped to see the wildlife, not people & how they cope getting around.
It’s not the deepest
Oh really, so which lake is deeper?

Lake Superior is the largest lake in the world🤣🤣
By surface area. Baikal wins by volume.

6 Minutes in and as a Swede we know all this so it feels like a safety course for toddlers when you came here for a documentary about the deepest lake, ill skip this one.
Lake Superior or bust
