Lake Baikal in Winter
The pearl of Siberia with the Travel Photographer of the Year 2017, 2018.
Start: February 19, 2019, Irkutsk, Russia
End: February 25, 2019, Irkutsk, Russia
End: February 25, 2019, Irkutsk, Russia
Baikal is a picturesque lake with the largest reserve of the purest fresh water on the planet. This is the crown jewel of Siberia. This place is believed to be the concentration of power, the soul of Russia. The lake of Baikal is surprisingly good in winter. Endless ice with almost no snow makes you feel unreal. You will see a completely transparent ice of 1.5-2 meters in thickness with lagre cracks, forming sophisticated patterns.
We will have a great week of picture-taking, when we will be able to make great photos without any haste and fuss. We will face ice grottoes and caves, shores with picturesque bays, mountain ranges covered with dense taiga forest, intricate drawings of cracks on the lake ice. Join along!
