I have to admit that when I read the title of this
article I became very curious. Trekking Lake Baikal? I didn’t even know Lake Baikal was trekkable. What I do know
about the lake is that it’s the oldest and deepest lake in the world, but that over the last decades it has
become something of an environmental disaster with serious pollution problems among others. While this article
doesn’t really take on the environmental aspects of Lake Baikal, it’s still an interesting read and definitely
furthered my curiosity about the Baikal region.
