Old, deep and mysterious are just a few words to describe Lake Baikal. This ancient wonder is tucked deep within southern Siberia and is the world’s oldest and deepest lake. Due to its sheer size and age, it’s given way to some of the most unique plant and animal species on the planet. The lake which holds a staggering 20% of the world’s freshwater comes complete with 27 (mostly) uninhabited islands meaning the majority of the massive area is completely untouched.
