It is only 111 kilometers away from the Mongolian border, the lake is 636 kilometers long, the average width is 48 kilometers, the widest kilometer, the area is 10,000 square kilometers, the average depth is 744 meters, the deepest point is 1637 meters, the elevation of the lake is 456 meters, the shape is crescent-shaped, and the total water storage is trillions of cubic meters.

The origin of the name of Lake Baikal

"Lake Baikal" is a transliteration of the English word "baykal", and the Russian name "baukaji" is derived from the Mongolian language, which is transformed from "saii" (rich) and "kyji" (lake), which means "rich lake", and is named after the abundance of fish in the lake.

Baikal is called "la mi u" in Evenki, which means "sea"; In Mongolian and Buryat languages, it is called "baigal dalai", which means "natural sea"; In Yakutia, it is called "baikel", which means "lake of abundance". Anthropologists believe that the current "baikal" comes from the Buryat language.

Lake Baikal is fed by 336 large and small rivers, including the Selenga River, with a catchment area of 10,000 square kilometers. The Angara River, a tributary of the Yenisei River, flows from this point, and there are 27 small islands in the lake, which are not covered by Quaternary glaciers, and still retain freshwater animals from the Tertiary period, such as Baikal seals, whitefish, Omul fish, sharks, etc. The lake is an important fishing ground in Siberia and has a great influence on the climate of the region.

Lake Baikal has an extremely high status in the eyes of Russians, and after it was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1996, Russia issued more than 30 decrees in the past five years, and no one should damage the environment of Lake Baikal for profit. The reason for the strict control of the largest freshwater lake in Asia is that Baikal has more water than the five Great Lakes of North America combined, and even the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe does not have as much water as Baikal.
