Incredible Lake Baikal, Russian Siberia

[stevebbuk]

The lake is an incredible phenomenon,but was the irksome hippy musak which pervaded the clip really necessary?

[ringodingo112]

this vid put a smile to my face! Awesome!

[studiesruinedmylife]

Yo La Tengo- You Can Have It All.

Awesome video too.

[AgentDouble0027]

Awesome video. Trips like this are so freaking awesome! Is it colder than Lake Superior? If you've ever been?

[AFW8484]

0:23 is that mosque or church??

[cesarelcid]

@AFW8484 Orthodox church!

[onefern]

What song is this?

[DLSNiiganii]

Interesting, thanks for posting. It was nice to see a different part of the world with some education thrown in...and enjoyable to watch as well.

[Jotbrar23]

America gets big lakes with fresh water

Russia gets bigger lake with more fresh water

[SiberianDecember]

Для справки: GodziraRules - нерусь. Тролль, засирающий всё русское на ютубе, что видит. Обращать на него внимание - значит себя не уважать.

[PellazguVlore]

Could somebody help with the name of this song please ??



[hickolife]

haha that wasn't a swim mate!

:)

Im about to take the trans-siberian, how long do you reckon its worth staying in Irkutsk for?

[svetlanaprekrasnaya]

@hickolife I was born and grown up in Irkutsk... this is my mother land. The land where you always wanna came back to. Baikal is one of the most energetic place in the world. I red an article that Baikal is the place where the Earth and the Universe exchange theirs energy.

I will answer your question if you tell me WHAT you wanna do in Irkutsk, and WHEN you are planning to go. BTW Baikal is in 70 km from Irkutsk.

[PantsInTheFamily]

Lot of activity going on beneath this lake, you can be sure

[Adventure0507]

this video is so great! Thank you very much for it! =)))))))

[findlaymcarthur]

Interesting and nice pictures but VERY annoying with the black information interuuptions ...never heard of subtitles ...crap muzak too.

[GodziraRules]

A federation (Latin: foedus, foederis, 'covenant'), also known as a federal state, is a type of sovereign state characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions united by a central (federal) government. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of the central government.

You doesnt know how your own country works,dude.Typically Russian...

[GodziraRules]

@MegaJO55 Never heard about terms" Russia" and "Russian Federation"????Russia is a small part of RF.Do you know,what "federation" means??? I dont think so....Russia is not RF anyway.Just federation of juridically independent states like Tatarstan,Kalmykia,Buryatia and many ,many others....

[MegaJO55]

@GodziraRules

Независимые? А они знают? что их отсоединили?

[tenb874]

@MegaJO55 хах =) смешно =) Россию уже делят походу =)

[MegaJO55]

@GodziraRules

Да и географию поучите, а если лень учить хотя бы в википедии откройте карту Сибири и посмотрите где находится Байкал.

[tonymas004]

@GodziraRules Excuse me I must correct you.Tatarstan.Kalmykiya,Buryat­ia are dependent regions

of Russian Federation.Always were.

[GodziraRules]

@tonymas004 Do you know what 'federation" word means? Go back to school...

[dikoiy]

Пам-па-бам-па-бам-па-бам!!!!!!­!!!!!

Байкал это - нечто другое. Ну да Бог Вам судья.

[GodziraRules]

This is not Siberia,and not Russia.All Baikal lake is a territory of Buryatia.

[MegaJO55]

@GodziraRules

И когда же вы успели уважаемый от России отделиться?

[GodziraRules]

@MegaJO55 Never heard about terms" Russia" and "Russian Federation".Russia is a small part of RF.Do you know,what "federation" means??? I dont think so....Russia is not RF anyway.Just federation of juridically independent states like Tatarstan,Kalmykia,Buryatia and many ,many others....

[cesarelcid]

@GodziraRules Same as the Great Salt Lake is not part of the USA but a part of Utah uh? What a nonsense!

[GodziraRules]

@cesarelcid Sure,Great Salt Lake is not a part of USA,its under Utah state jurisdiction.USA is a state assembled from various parts with their own laws and united by constitution only.What a surprise!!!

And lake Baikal situated in a territory of Buryta Republic,and under the jurisdiction of it.

I hope u understand.....

[uzernamesarestupid]

YLT!!!

[SUPERWORLDSENSATION]

SELL plot of land on Olkhon-Baikal, DETAILS IN MY CHANNEL TO FILE PRO BAIKAL

[SlavaSvarogu]

NICE VIDEO AND CRAZY BORING MUSIC

[butsy1818]

EXPERTS CLAIM,IF ALIENS CAME DOWN AND DRAINED IT AT A RATE OF 10 GALLONS A SECOND IT COULD DISAPEAR INTO THE UNKNOWN;-) HOW EVER IF THE LAKE IS FROZEN AT THE TIME THE ALIENS WOULD LIKE TO DRAIN IT,IT MAY BE POSSIBLE FOR IT TO STICK AROUND AND GO ICE FISHING INSTEAD,PROVIDING THE RIGHT INFORMATION AND DATA,AND TECHNOLOGY IS PRESENT, BEST EXPERTS ARE IN THE VIDEO CLIP;-) ALL OF THEM;-)!!!!!!!!

[frtw4428]

It's an awesome body of water. Having lived near the great lakes in the US, I've always appreciated such incredible beauty. This is on my places to see before I die list!

[elainebmack]

@frtw4428 . I also grew up on the Great Lakes, specifically in Chicago on Lake Michigan. I have always wanted to see Lake Baikal, and I have promised myself that I will one day - maybe sooner than I think!

[tonymas004]

@elainebmack It's not that expensive actually.And people who're living there are very helpfull and peacefull.

[garioldwin]

my god there are some really big fish in that lake .

[Kenzofeis]

@garioldwin Yes, but so hairy :s

[WhattsHisName]

@MJPKENT Amazing place eh? Hey he only dived in, so he only gets 5 years added to his life lol

[SteppLee]

[squaaaaash]

Beautiful scenery, interesting statistics.

[MrRedFredSaid]

That's amazing.

[Trainfanat]

Спасибо.

[helenachita]

eah you are total idiot.

I am from there,as well as my whole family, a several generations as a matter of fact.

Born and raised.

Go there and tell them who they are and what they was saved from,according to your moronic theory,and I'll bet that you will not survive another 5 sec..

[yksniset]

The water is 0,5 inch long cold :-)

[russkinheadsrretards]

this place doesnt belong to russia

[drhollywood77]

it does.. look on the map

[russkinheadsrretards]

@drhollywood77

it doesnt belong to russia

it belongs to the central asian people

not some slavic slaves that are so stupid that they support the tsars that wanted to eliminate them

[drhollywood77]

wich tsars wanted to eliminate the slavic people ? did their want kill themselves ??

[drhollywood77]

ok if youre right ...central asian people live in russia so central asian people = russia ..

sibiria belongs to central asian people so central asian people = sibiria ..

so sibiria = russia

you understand ?

[russkinheadsrretards]

@drhollywood77

central asian people arent russian

they used to live in khanate that was overthrown by russian moving east

siberia do not belong to russia

russia do nothing with siberia except

-place all destruction warheads

-sent the dead kulaks to get bury

-dig for oil

-find mammoth

siberia belong to the mongols and the tungus people

[art1union]

@russkinheadsrretards

You are fascist and racist.

[squaaaaash]

Who cares. We live on one world.

[art1union]

@russkinheadsrretards - are you an geographical idiot?

[russkinheadsrretards]

@art1union

no i am not

russia stole this land from islamic khanate east of the ural mountains

like they stole the turkstan and siberia

they were lucky becuz the mongols pulled out

[art1union]

@russkinheadsrretards Nothing belong to United States that's for sure.

[art1union]

@russkinheadsrretards Nothing belong to United States that's for sure.

[svargarr]

That water is so pure, that we had been drinking it strait from the lake, while we were hiking over there. Be aware of ticks in summer time, though.

[414gbg]

Woah this place arouses primal feelings of wellbeing within me. I love naturescapes that remind of this one, vast lakes, sand-dunes, pine-woods, great planes. My prehistoric instincts tells me that this is a safe and good place to live.

[DrKillaser]

if i didn't know that this is a lake, i would say this is a sea.. :P

[helenachita]

I was born there, and my ansestors were born there And I am very Russian,the white one!

[TheBuffaloKiller]

@helenachita we all know russians are white sfu.

[drhollywood77]

i met some people they though russians are asian

[russkinheadsrretards]

@drhollywood77

well some russians are asians

the minority on their own LAND are not russian

russians are both european and asian

[I12BPhil]

That is an amazing and beautiful part of the world few of us know about! Thanks for the video. It made my day!

[fightinirishpj]

@I12BPhil It's deceitful. it's the largest freshwater lake and has 20% of the world's fresh water. it's also one of the biggest environmental disasters in the world. it's one of the most polluted bodies water. there's an estimated 1 billion gallons of waste in the lake right now. paper mills are just one factor of the lake that dump untreated waste directly into the water.

[BaikalLakeOrg]

@fightinirishpj Bullshit! Have you ever been on Baikal lake? Come and see by your own eyes. Don't listen to Greenpeace's propaganda sponsored by americans.

[kilomeister]

@fightinirishpj more american propaganda. behind north korea the yanks must be the world's most brainwashed people. they are trying this love your flag love your army crap over here. only really thick people fall for it. mind you i have never been to north korea.

[krystian30]

[landsker]

Good video, who`d have thought Siberia could seem so nice.

[flightrulez]

haha, it's nice for 2 months of the year, then it gets so fucking cold you get shrinkage in seconds, then you go to the sauna and your back to normal, hahaah.

[DolceVita1984]

Thank you! I live only one hour away from the lake. But don't go there ofthen :( I should!

[arishik888]

the place looks awesome. I'd love to go there some time. But what's up with music? :))))

[cenolbaj]

Why such a disturbing music ?

[BullshitArt101]

i just read an article that said that russia had disclosed alot of its UFO encounters and apparently they had sent some submersibles with people deep into this lake and they were attacked by "humanoid creatures dressed in silvery clothing" and 3 russians died as a result.

crazy shit.

[gatheringleaves]

where did you hear this!!!!

Can I have the source/name of the article

That sounds really cool!

[aleXacerbic]

rofl back when i lived in russia i always heard these stupid stories -.-

[andru7]

i read that same story.. russia recently released some of their top secret ufo files.

[AlexanderSigal]

@BullshitArt101 that didn't happen dude! they made it back up alright!

[tonymas004]

@BullshitArt101 By today in some places of baikal is imposible to measure up the deepness.

There are some rumours about connection of this lake to the all world's oceans.

Who knows maybe these rumours are truth.

[jigger77]

Awesome, thanks for posting. Good on you to take the plunge man. Looks like I have another must see destination on my lifetime list.

[RhamEleazar]

it is so deep that makes its color green ..

i mean green at the deepest part ..

[asaidweeman28]

Shit that place looks like heavenxxx

[alquimena]

É um lugar sensacional para as pessoas que não tem medo de perder raízes, mas as finca onde seu pé pisar.

[zeljkoserbiagreece]

VERY BEATIFULL

[Unbannable]

great lakes are not AMERICAS, they are in canada TOO.

LAKE ONTARIO. HINT HINT

[jigger77]

When people say the Americas it includes Canada.

[BNyc3AtBall]

why not just call it the Baikal Sea... THAT LAKE IS HUUUUUGE...

[Vilasiiiii]

more than one mile deep! that is one deep ass lake!

How was it formed?

[GrrlGrowler]

My ancestors of the Xiongnu confereration and Han dynasty fought each other at the Lake Baikal region around 119BC in western Han period.. I hope the colonists in Siberia don't industrialize and pollute this natural marvel like the Mississippi for the native Americans and Americans in general.

[essex36]

Waddayatalkinabout! This is nothing compared to Lake Winnipesaukee. Does it have a boat like the Mount Washington? I don't think so.

[eMobster]

Just hope this doesn't share the same destiny with the Aral Sea

[Slovar2003]

Всё никак не доберусь до Байкала =\

[munhkuktenger]

Siberia is home where mongol people were born. But we are happy , because russians could save its original state

[munhkuktenger]

Baikal means Nature, it is Mongolian word Baigal, Siberia is as well, shiver in mongolian, means deep forest and water.

[Bigfurry1975]

I never pictured Russia as being so beautiful,not that America isn't,of course,but wow!! Just wait until God renews the earth, which He will do. I hope that God willing, I may check this place out, until then I'll brush up on my Russki.

[tzarild]

I couldnt finish this nice video. Horrible music!

[davemarshall2963]

pity about the naff music!

[VlamisRU]

he said "fuck" xD

hey man, thats Russia :D

[arendkolk]

He guys,

nice video. I loved Baikal and we loved to eat fish and get on the vodka at the Litvianka fishmarket.

Nasdarovia, or something like that

[VlamisRU]

nasdarovia HAHAHAHA you even learned that xD

we write it as: na zdorovie and spell: na zdarovie :D

[DogFlavor]

excellent video.

i like lake baikal! do you?

[AllEnglishEvie]

Thanks this helped me with geog homework

[asaidweeman28]

what a beautiful place

[opusguru]

thanks for the video.. I am a geography nerd and I always wondered what this lake looked like!

[TheLogicJunkie]

The "baikal mushroom" is an amazing anti-inflammatory".

[BERZITI]

only Ohrid lake in Macedonia (olddest and deepest lake in Europa) have similaritys with Baikal lake (endemic flora and fauna).

[TheLogicJunkie]

The problem is that they call the Baikal scullcap mushroom the "Chinese Skullcap" in health food stores, but they really should call it the "Siberian Skullcap" or "Russian Skullcap".

[0AZ909]

I hope that this immense natural wonder will be protect from the desappearance and it 'll take on a new lease of life...

[aaaustria]

WOW IT'S GREAT :D

[undersixty]

A 6.3 earthquake hit here today! (8/26/08)

[kipkidwell]

Who does the music? I love it.

[sibelius335]

ha, je n'avais jamais vu un Lac avoir d'aussi fortes vagues ! impressionnant !

[Ken69a]

I would to visit Russia one day.

After seeing this video, well Lake Baikal, would be on my list in Russian places to visit.

[pspguy28]

Isn't this where the topless photos of Putin were taken?

[Primorsky]

"Isn't this where the topless photos of Putin were taken?"

No. These Putin's photos was taken from Tuva (it's in Siberia too, but not on Baikal)

[sibelius335]

ha, Putin ferait un très bon agent de voyages ! c'est vrai que la région où il avait passé ses dernières vacances, à Touva, est magnifique ! Les rivières à truites, basses, fraiches, et qu'on peut même parfois traverser à pied, j'adore ! De toute façon, toute la Sibérie du Sud est magnifique, et je meurs d'envie d'y aller.

[asaidweeman28]

lake baikal will outlive the human race

[prt61370]

This lake is the deepest lake in the world.Average depth 1,700 feet deep.The deepest part is 5,248 feet deep.The lake could also freeze.Wow thats scary.I hear people walk on it when its frozen.Thats dangerous!

[james74duster]

People actually drive on the ice in the winter time it is so solid. Mainly to get to the remote village on the island. I heard about half a dozen cars every spring actually fall through the ice when it is thawing.

[drbcook]

Why is the water so cold

[CORKALOT]

Siberia is one of the coldest places on earth.

[VlamisRU]

it's not true, it's not cold in summers.

and the Baikal Lake's water is cold because the lake is very DEEP. I thought that's obvious.

[texelektronik]

many years ago i have visit the naikal lake during the business trip. Was great and interesting.never forget this trip and impression of the views....

Thank you for shring my friends...

[texelektronik]

thank you for sharing this beauty

[myopolo]

Nice video, I have a russian friend: SASHA, who's was learning english with me in Toronto CANADA, he's originally from the Baykal Lake; and now I'm undertand, that it's the more beautiful places around the world, just in Russia.

Greetings:

Miguel Angel Yopolo Ramirez.

Toronto CANADA

[iamartem]

I'm proud of my country!

Russia is super!

[Rhenoism]

Lee, I see you've REALLY gotten around in the world. Thanks for posting this and the other vids. I'm thinking of going to these places.

[Rhenoism]

It'd be great to go to some of these places, but I'd be worried, really. I'd be afraid I'd drink contaminated water or injest pollution some other way, pollution leftover from the old Soviet times.

We can thank Stalin for causing the devastation he did indeed cause.

[casje12]

We're going to lake Baikal in May this year with the Trans-Siberian Railway. I can't wait... Thanks for your post:-)

[ez4989]

The lake Baikal is considers by historians as the land of Far Eastern peoples origination, especially the Monglians which includes Mongols, Koreans, Manchurians, Norther Chinease, most of Japanese, and Central Asian prairie belts tribes.

[buttercup58]

hey, can you tell me the name and artist of the song? Thanks!

[commoncraft]

The band is Yo La Tengo and the song is "You can have it all"

[sheltiepaws1]

Thanks for posting, it looks beautiful but too cold for my blood

[sisterzen]

Mmmm that looks so beautiful.

[UpAtDawn]

Awesome pics! Thanks for taking us somewhere we may nevere get to go. One suggestion - It might've been more useful to have you narrating what we were looking at, rather than music. Or if you felt you had to fill it in with music, maybe some traditional Russian music? THANKS AGAIN!

[therockingmelon]

For some reason, Russians look half way between people of the orient and people of europe. Those kids it shows toward the beggining of the movie are my point

[stillwater82]

that is becaue this area is close to mongolia and china..more you go towards east, more they start looking orient

[evgk70]

That asian looking kid is not actually russian - he is buryat (an asian nation in siberia)

[Oberofficer]

I see you dont know anything about Russia. Actually in russia there is more than 100 nationalities.Most of this nationalities you never heard. And all of this people is a part of Russian history. Read more books in your school small boy, because British media not allways tell you a truth. You dont know how russians look like. And this video is not a proof how russians look like.

[therockingmelon]

if you wewre talking to me, thnk u 4 da info

[asaidweeman]

who cares what they 'look' like

[enriquenoah]

hey man..appreciate the beauty of the world whre you standing at.. who cares about you? anyway, fuck you!

[Spiciu]

Nice video , inadequate music.

[lesterdiamond5]

From Jordan: very beautiful video & song

[stillwater82]
