Baikal has melted!
The day that we left Olkhon Island, only a few days after we crossed the ice to reach the island, the lake had melted to the point that we could take a ferry to the mainland village of Sakhyurta.
About this place:
Located in Siberian Russia, Lake Baikal is the world's deepest lake, containing 1/5 of the world's fresh water. It is home to numerous species which live only in the waters of Baikal.
