Baikal In 1996 the UNESCO World Heritage Committee gave Lake Baikal the status of World Heritage

The pearl of Siberia Located in south-central Siberia,Russia, surrounded by mountains, forests and wild rivers, Baikal is an immense and breathtaking area of natural beauty.

The beauty of Lake Baikal The external beauty of Lake Baikal is primarily a combination of magnificent bays, capes and coves, and mountains and hills surrounding the lake with their rich flora. The diversity of trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers that can be found on Lake Baikal is hard to imagine. But it is trees that define the perception of local nature. They are a pine, a larch, a cedar, a birch, a fir, an aspen and a cedar elfin.

The only seal Found only in Lake Baikal, the Baikal seal also known as the nerpa, is one of the only freshwater seal species in the world. Baikal seals are the only seal that lives entirely in freshwater, and can remain under water for up to minutes. This is due to the extraordinary capacity of their blood to hold oxygen, and allows them to dive to depths of almost 300m..

Nerpa In winter time, when the lake is covered by the thick layer of ice, the seal makes breath-throughs (holes in the ice) with its sharp claws. Nerpa feeds on fish. No words can describe the feeling that is left after meeting a living nerpa somewhere in a quiet bay or near Ushkany Islands. The trustful, open look of the seal's big clever eyes will charm everyone. For hours the animals can bask in the sun playing with their kin.
