- čas přidán 21. 01. 2021
- Lake Baikal in Russia on the border with Mongolia is the deepest lake in world and contains 20% of the world's fresh drinkable water. The most adventurous time to go there is in winter, when you can see the ice of the famous lake. In this video I will share with you my trip to Siberia and tell about things you can do on the ice of Baikal.

I am a 77 years old Geologist, Lake Baikal has a very special place in my heart. This is where a Plate is breaking apart creating the deepest (+ 5,000') fresh water lake in the world. I am not surprised that they experience EQ (earth quakes) so frequently, this seismic activity is the direct result of the Plate rupture. Unlike Caspian & Aral Lakes which are salt water lakes, Baikal is not, only because Baikal has an outlet (river exiting), that does not let salt accumulate in the water. It is my last wish to see Baikal and take the Trans-Siberian Train.
Wow, that's amazing, thank u for the information and good luck with everything!!
I watched a Russian scientist in a documentary who said that lake Baikal can feed the whole world for 50 years, and also that the lake takes about 300 years to renew its water. Fascinating Nature.
Beautiful video and country. Siberia is just like where I live, in the USA, southwest Montana. You are so brave to go out and make these videos. I love learning about your massive and interesting country of Russia. I have always had a great interest in anything Russian. Especially the older music, literature, and cultute. In how people live, especially in the small villages. I love Rachmaninov's music and Chekov's writing . I am a great grandmother. There is much to share about my culture and much I want to learn about yours. Please keep making these videos. I will share them with my grand daughter who is a wildlife biologist in California. I will be 80 years old this year. Thank you, and stay safe and well. Warm regards from a grandma in Montana. You are a beautiful young lady.
I read about Baikal in Geography and History book only in my childhood. Now today I saw the same in your video. Thanks a lot. By the way in my childhood I used to read one Russian magazine named "Sputnik". I am always fascinated by Russia and it's technoloigcal progress.
I like your way of talking,explaining. Whenever I saw you there is a smile on my face.

Amazing place....didnt know such place exist. Keep up the good work!
Hiiii
Tempo passa e nós tentamos passar algo para nossos filhos, sua cultura só irá crescer com esse belo gesto.
@@NoMady688 cannot read your comment because I only read English.
This girl's happy outlook is infectious. And what scenery! Wow.
Scenery é bonito em qualquer lugar que olharmos com carinho.
@@NoMady688 Yup 👍 verdade!!
Yes, agreed, and she's such a beautiful young Lady!! ❤
I like those cold clear days when you can hear the snow crunch under foot.
The Lake Baikal so crystal clear, very beautiful place to be at!!!! WoW !!!!
Have you visited? It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm also a massive follower of this channel and I also create vlogs about life in Russia. However the youtube algorithm has actually not been as great to me yet. Almost all those that watches my vlogs claims that it is very good, yet very few are able to watch it. Can you be extremely straight up and inform me how I can improve my vlogs? I value your sincere viewpoint.
one of the greatest vlogs I have ever seen!! Bravo Eli greetings from Greece :)

Siberia, a sacred land where all living and non-living things, the rivers, mountains, lakes have spirits and life is eternal. Thank you for this stunning video.
Как-будто в сказку попала. Красота какая!!!
Incredibly beautiful!
The girl or the lake? ;)
Nice hey really fantastic your environment
@@RomaInvicta202 Let’s leave it to the discretion of the viewer. I have my own stance, but I’ll keep it for myself :)

Thanks Eli and Slava for sharing Russia with the rest of us
Wow never knew so many different people lived in Russia. Amazing Ice !
Я из Грузии, жила в России 6 лет и в США уже побольше 20 лет.
Очень нравиться ваши видео. Смотрю с удовольствием! Спасибо вам за ролики
Hello from Oregon USA! Also known as The Pacific North West. Just found your video's. Really enjoy seeing a small look at life in a vastly different places and peoples. Wish I could travel all over the world! Good luck and have fun! Thanks for sharing!
Overhelmingly beautiful! I hope I'll visit Russia one day! Greetings from Poland:)
When the war is over maybe. Right now it’s not safe unfortunately.
@@polishnorwegianandspanish9145 I know:( I hope it all ends quickly:(
If Putin has his way, soon you will be in Russia.
@@thomasashmore507 Lol I didn't mean it that way. It's not appriopriate to joke about it. I hope this horrible war wil be over soon and that Ukrainian (and good Russian) citizens will be fine.
As for putin coming to Poland I know there's a chance no one will help us. We were left once already. I hope Poland won't have to see how much the alliance with the US and the rest of the West is actually worth.
@@alwa4735 I live in Canada and there are far worse things awaiting you in the west that you'd face if Putin came to Poland, one of my ancestral homelands FWIW.
This video is excellent. Your English is perfect. Lake Baikal is stunning and I love how thick and clear the ice is. Greetings from Scotland.
Now I want to go to Lake Baikal even MORE!
Greetings from Florida, U.S.A. The Lake Baikal landscape is absolutely breathtaking. That is definitely how winter should be. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
Right on the money.
Beautiful clean and unspoiled.
Both country AND presenters.
AWESOM, YEAH RUSSIA
I had only heard of this lake. Thank you for showing it to me. Wonderful
made me smile. What a beautiful blog. Thank you Eli
Thank you for sharing your travels. ❤️🤗
Amazingly overwhelming presence of natural peace. All that and Pushkin, Akhmatova, and Pasternak as well. Just awesome.
This is gorgeous! Baikal is a fascinating and wonderful location in the world, but its nice seeing some culture as well that I'm very unfamiliar with. Thank you!
Eli this is an awesome video! I’m planning a trip to Siberia when international tensions ease!!! This video is helping me get through the waiting
Thankyou Eli...for sharing the beautiful Russian places...💕💕💕💕🇨🇦
It's great that you love Russia. It would be amazing to know your opinion. I'm likewise a massive fan of this channel and I too make content to do with life in Russia. Unfortunately the youtube algorithm has actually not been as courteous to me yet. Practically everybody who watches my channel states that it is top notch, yet not many are able to watch it. Can you be extremely truthful and tell me just how I can improve my vlogs? I value your sincere point of view.
This is a super cool video! Thanks Elina! 😊
Эли - это видео просто сказка!!!
I know it's probably not all fun and games, but you seem to have such a great time. The fun and laughter are infectious. I feel like I'm there. It's so beautiful it's crazy.
Everything looks so beautiful. I would love to skate on that lake. The ice looks as beautiful as any ice in a ring. Absolutely magnificent.
Don't like cold weather, but this video made me want to be there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful part of our earth.
Wow,walking on an icy surface is so cool
Wonderful place!!!!!! Grazie per farci vedere questa meraviglia della Russia!
Из (сейчас) USSA - Миннесота .......
От всего сердца .... Спасибо за Байкал, за катание. Я становлюсь эмоциональным, когда вижу это ... Я не привыкать к зиме, катанию на коньках, льду. Ух ты, Байкал! Спасибо.
Eli! I just found out your channel and I fell in love how you tell the things about Russia. I was in 2018 and it was one of my best trips in my life. With this video you remind me why I want to see Baikal, but above all, you remind me why I like so much Russia. Unfortunately everything what is happening now doesn't make the trips easy there, but I promise to myself to come back one day again.
Очень понравилось , Элли ! Ты делала именно то , о чем я мечтал на Байкале : лежать и ползать по льду , глядя на дно ! А ещё кататься на коньках !
Fantastic area and country. Love your video
Lake Baikal has always just been a place on a map to me. Thanks for bringing us along! I've never seen any ice that thick.

The water from the glaciers make such a beautiful color. Lake Baikal... Really wanna go there
Very cool video, as a lot of your foreign subscribers I am falling in love with Russia and it’s people. Greetings from the northeast USA.
I think this was my favorite video of yours. Probably because of the beauty of the area .
I live in Phoenix, Arizona so it’s nice to see such a different landscape and wonderful people.
Peace and Joy to the World 🙏👌😊☮️
Congratulations! I'm from Brazil, studying Russian language now and I love to watch your videos!
спасибо за то, что взял меня в такое прекрасное путешествие. Я из США и никогда не приеду на Байкал. Вы сделали это возможным.
Уговаривать не будем🤣
When you said: "Mamma mia" i started laughing to death !!! Greetings from Italy
Just beautiful. It is well filmed and edited. Compact content as well.
There are interesting videos about Russia on my channel as well
Awesome shots of siberia!
So beautiful! I hope you are all right Eli with the war and the situation in general!...You are a wonderful person!
Thank you for posting. Youre making me want to pack up and head there immediately! Greetings from USA
Just Cross the the Bering strait and keep going 💙
Amazing photography! Thank you for bringing me to Baikal!
Lake Baikal is on my bucket list!
Astonishing scenic beauty of Baikal.
Elina thank you for this astonishing and beautiful video from Lake Baikal:-)
What a nice video. The nature and weather in Irkutsk reminds me of the weather here. Ice cold in the winter and warm in the summer. It's a little place in the middle of Norway. The more videos i watch about Russia, the more I fell in love with Your country :-)
Wonderful Baikal lake. Lovely video Eli, thanks. And yes business men PRESERVE THAT NATURAL BEAUTY!
stunning footage; a very well edited video, a pleasure to watch !!!
I subscribed your channel because of your English which I can understand every word. Thank you. 😊 quality of your video is fantastic and I really feel the ice and loved to hear the sound of ice breaking.
Dear Eli
Yet again another superb video, and this time on Baikal.
Do the Russian authorities know the amazing job that you are doing for International relations, I think you sound be awarded the Lenin medal for your unbiased reporting. Congratulations and the more of your videos that I see, the more I want to be there.
Greetings from Cornwall, England.
So beautiful ❤️
Wow! Amazing video! Yes, cold weather is much more enjoyable than hot weather as long as you have the right clothes.
Lake Baikal is amazingly beautiful ! But now I must put on a sweater, gloves and a wool hat ! Your skating is excellent too ! ))
An amazing place! You again have done a wonderful job in showing me your beautiful country. Thank you Elina!
Hello from Virginia, USA. Just discovered you. Great video.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful country!
Greetings from Sri Lanka. What a beautiful place Baikal is and what a wonderfully done video.
Beautiful nature and the ice is beautiful too . Wow the lake makes a interesting sound . That is a new sound to me . Thanks for sharing this place on video . 🙂
This region and lake has been on my bucket list for so long. I wish so much that I could visit.
She is such a doll!
Wat a great video!!!! I shared it on my FB page. Greetings from Belgium!

One would never have to worry about breaking the ice with you, would one? 😁
You film such incredibly interesting, beautiful subjects. Thank you and GOD bless you from England. ❤️❤️
Matthew.
Reminds me of Lake Superior which has about the same temperatures. Unbelievably cystal clear water that is so deep. Yet you can see the Lakes bottom at certain places. It's amazing! I was there with my brother 41 years ago when I was 22 years old. I never forgot it. You know, I have only noticed you smile when your ice skating. You must really enjoy it.
Heavenly beauty! It is absolutely breathtaking! Thanks so much for sharing this wonder to us. I wish I will visit Lake Baikal one day.
Lake Baikal is an amazing place! My mother had the chance to see it with her own eyes when she was taking a ride on the world-famous Transsib (Transsiberian Railway) which started in Berlin (Germany) all the way to Lake Baikal (Burjat Republic in Russian Federation), Ulan Bataar (capital of Mongolia), Beijing (capital of China) and Shanghai (China). It was expensive but a once-in-a-lifetime-chance you don't wanna miss!
Obviously, Russians learn to ice skate before they learn to crawl. You did well sharing the majesty and wonder of lake Baikal.
The views are breathtaking!
Just want to say that I love your videos. Have not found one yet that I did not watch to the very end. I don't know, maybe you are a natural and it comes easy to you but they all feel like you must have spent lots of time making them. Subscribed. Keep them coming please!
SURREAL !!! мама мия!!! как круто!
Thank you Elina!! This is a beautiful short documentary. It made me travel and dream. Very nicely done. Keep up your showcasing of Russian culture with the same clean and positive spirit.
What a breathtaking place. My daughters grandfather is from Siberia and used to go swimming in that lake. I hope to one day take my daughter there.
Beautiful place 👏👏♥️♥️
Greetings from American Canyon, USA. BEAUTIFUL video!!! My wife and I came across your video while reading our "Daily Bread" and it mentioned Lake Baikal. Thank you so much for the video!
Beautiful Baikal and landscape.. awesome video Eli. 😘
Such a beautiful place. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you from Canada.
Thanks for taking us on adventures. Be safe Eli!
I'm actually planning to move to Irkutsk, aka the Siberian Paris, from the US. I've seen many itineraries and travel journeys online posted by travelers from many different places of the world, and I have to say: I'm really obsessed. I want to get a way from the fast-paced lifestyle and the urban pandemonium. Lake Baikal, or Irkutsk, is the next destination on my list.
A pandemia foi um pesar para todos não tem como fugir disso. O certo é caso você tenha perdido alguém. É ler sobre o que ele faz por um dia, e nos 3 dias seguintes fazer o que ele fazia, como uma forma de dizer que, se ele está no Céu, ele, está te observando com um sorriso no rosto.
A vírgula no meu país serve para evitar o pronome "ele" mas eu usei ele assim para que você esteja separada, mas ainda pensando nele. É poética meu idioma posso escrever do jeito que quiser. 😂😂😂
That feeling when you live in Irkutsk, read your comment and dream of moving from Putin's totalitarian Russia to Canada or the USA.
@@4x86 se putin fosse do regime tolitarista todos saberiam e você não teria que falar nada. Eu vejo com os meu olhos. Leio os seu comentário que não faz sentido. E vejo notícias e creio que sou capaz de saber o que é verdade ou não.
@@NoMady688 You watch the news, and I live here.
So your comment is meaningless.
Fantastic. Loved it. I have been planning a visit to Lake Baikal and your enthusiasm showing me around is motivating me to book tickets. Wonderful! 😍
👍👍👍 Thanks for a beautiful and scenic vlog. 💐 Hope to visit your great country soon.
Blessings from Malaysia.
omg I so wanna do the ice smashing stress relief. This is a pristine place Baikal.
How awesome! Thank you for sharing, Eli. This video has been amazing. I love the ice, frozen lake, and country!
So inspiring !
Ви чудова! Ваші відео надзвичайно якісні та цікаві! Успіхів, а головне, тримайте курс на світло та добро!
Absolutely so beautiful! Thanks for letting us get as close as we can to seeing what you get to experience.
