Tatiana Baksheeva, Irkutsk, Baikal

Hi there! My name is Tatiana Baksheeva. I am based in Irkutsk.

My mission is pretty simple. If you failed to find the information about Lake Baikal and its area, that you had been seeking for a long time on the web, feel free to request it from me via the contact form.

To ask a local is much easier!..

Baikal Superlatives #8. Chilliest Lake

Even in June the Nerpa are found basking on ice floes. The water temperature by mid-June is normally only 4 degrees Centigrade (amazingly, millions of years ago Baikal was a warm swallow lake with tropical plants growing on its shores).
