In winter, cracks and unusual forms of ice cover form on the ice of Lake Baikal: "hills", "osenets", "sokuy". On satellite maps Lake Baikal in winter, you can see dark rings that are formed due to the rise in temperature of the surface layer of water.
There are 27 islands on the lake, of which Olkhon is the largest. Baikal is the habitat of 2630 species of animals and plants, of which 2/3 are found only here. The unique nature of Lake Baikal is largely influenced by a large number of sunlight, which is a record for Russia - 2524 hours.

Peschanaya Bay is one of the most famous and picturesque places on Lake Baikal. The name of the Siberian Riviera is fixed behind the bay, and it is declared a natural monument. The famous Walking or walking pines grow on the sandy spit.
The formation of such roots in Baikal trees is not determined by genes. This is an acquired adaptation of existence in environment... Pines and larch trees grow with stilt roots on sandy soil near the village. Turka, on Olkhon Island and in Peschanaya Bay. Permanent strong winds blowing in these places from Lake Baikal, exposed the roots of these trees, blowing sand from under them. For this they are often called "walking trees". There is a statement that the sand on which these pines and larch trees grow is shifting towards Lake Baikal, dragging them along. Therefore, stilted trees "walk" in the direction of the famous lake and once disappear in it forever.
