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.

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/)

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!

It would be very cool to see what they come up with in the way of archeological artifacts.

Scientists are still divided about how the lake originated.

Big hole in ground filled with water. Mystery solved... ;-)

How the big hole in the ground originated, however, I don't know. Maybe subterranean water channels undermined the integrity of the foundation for an entire area, and eventually the world's largest sinkhole turned into the world's largest freshwater lake.

That line struck me immediately as a mistake in the text. Am I misunderstanding something?

A meter is roughly 3 feet. 23,000 cubic metres would be about 450 feet on a side.
