Первый Байкальский
Baikal has not only the so-called transit winds (connected with the general circulation of the atmosphere), but also local ones. They are called by the name of the valleys from where they blow. Authentic names are explained both by typical features of the winds (for example, the” Verkhovik” wind emerges in the valley of the upper reaches of the Angara (“Verkhovya” = upper reaches in Russian) and etymological relations to local dialects (for example, Sarma is derived from the Buryat word meaning “a roll”).
Our new infographics will disclose the secrets of the two most ancient and largest freshwater lakes on the planet: we decided to compare Baikal with its “younger sister”, Lake Tanganyika.
The amount of Baikal water would be enough for each Russian for a period of 200 thousand years.
5 Eiffel Towers or 17 Big Ben Towers: our infographics will starkly illustrate the depth of Baikal.
