Buryatia, Siberia AND Lake Baikal

Arriving to the border of Buryatia, Siberia . . .
Ulan Ude is the capital where I live.
My very first view of Lake Baikal - the world's largest fresh water lake
that contains over 20% of the world's fresh water.
It's amazing any time of year, and freezes up to 10 feet on top in winter.
Yummy "omul" - fish found only in The Baikal and quite tasty smoked!
