look what I found:
10 meters... that's 33 ft! holly cow, can you imagine what ice diving there in the winter be like? you'd probably need a bloody crane to lower you down.

magnificent Lake Baïkal, the "Glorious Sea" of Oriental Siberia. In this region renown for its hostile climate more than anywhere else on the planet, man had to adapt in order to survive. Lake Baïkal is the 2nd most important fresh water reserve after Antarctica with 23 millions cubic meters 636 km in length, 79 km in width and depths of 1637 meters. But most surprising is the quality of its water, the lake contains the purest water in the world and more than 300 rivers flow into it. From December to May, the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice which can attain 10 meters.
