I hope they don’t go get Richard Basehart to drive the sub.

It contains around 23,000 cubic metres of fresh water - about 20 per cent of the world’s fresh water and 90 per cent of Russia’s.
Some how that figure is suspect to me.
Reminds me of Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls?
Sloooooooly I turn, step by step......

Some how that figure is suspect to me. I agree. 23,000 cubic meters isn't much water.

It is hard to imagine that these wilderness areas and exotic cultures are only a five to seven hour jet ride from Moscow or Khabarask. (http://www.baikal.eastsib.ru/baikalfacts/index.html/)

Anyway, I hope Lake Baikal doesn’t suffer the same fate as the doomed Aral Sea.

The article makes a basic error. The number is correct (”23,000”) but the unit of measurements ought to be cubic Km. Makes a difference.

The idiot reporter probably meant cubic kilometer. One apparently doesn’t have to understand math to be a reporter.

no, the Seaview was done when there were no longer radio tubes to blow out all over the control panel.

I remember that show when I was a kid. That’s probably dating me.

23 000 (cubic meters) = 6 075 957.2 US gallons; to put that in perspective it is about 9.4 Olympic size swimming pools.

I thought I saw an Al Gore documentary a few months ago where he was saying that this lake had totally dried up due to global warming. I was scared out of my mind. AL GORE IS FULL OF CRAP!

Remember back when he was running for president and you told him to “put a cork in it...” well, I guess he did.
