	Facts about Baikal
		Baikal's water, long famous for its spiritual and medicinal qualities, is called "living water." Unlike all other deep lakes of the world where the lower depths are dead, asphyxiated by hydrogen sulfide and other gases, Lake Baikal's deep waters are blanketed in fresh oxygen.
		Lake Baikal's ecosystem was greatly altered by the construction of the Irkutsk Dam.
		These tiny crayfish, the Baikal epishura, could be considered the "caretakers" of the lake because the devour the tiny waterweeds and bacteria that cloud the water.

	the Ushkanii Islands, Lake Baikal
		The minimum distance to the western shore of Baikal is 27 km between Bolshoi Ushkanii Island and Cape Sharmla (мыс Шармла).
		The ridge rises a maximum of 1360 meters from the bottom of Baikal in the area, and the four Ushkanii Islands represent the tops of these submerged mountains.
		The topography of the Ushkanii Islands is quite rugged, especially for its small surface area, and Bolshoi Ushkanii Island's highest elevations are near the southeast side of the island, as are the steepest slope areas.

		The sedimentary record of Baikal is also extremely long and continuous with sedimentation rates varying from 1 cm/ky to 1 m/ky. The Baikal record therefore offers exciting opportunities to study paleoclimate change on a variety of temporal scales and resolutions.

		The climbing was a very enjoyable classic Sierra ridge ascent featuring good solid holds all the way with the exception of a few areas of looser rock where the angle backs off.
		The gully just left of the arete looks like it would probably also go at 4th class; the next ridge to the left has some steep blankish parts and might offer a bit of 5th class climbing before it eases off.
		I stayed within 10 feet of the crest of the ridge and made almost all of the moves with no hands, making the route nearly class 1, but in a few places I started to topple and needed to place my wrists against the rock, technically granting the ridge class 2 status.

		30000 s) periods away from the ridge crest, suggestive of a shallower asthenosphere off axis, and 3) a long period (>10000 s) decrease in the phase and apparent resistivity at the ridge axis extending to the west, suggestive of higher conductivity at asthenospheric depths in this direction.
		Electromagnetic studies, along with teleseismic tomography results allow a more reasonable explanation for Baikal rifting in terms of a model implying convection of molten material from beneath the thick lithosphere of the Siberian platform at its active margin into the adjacent rifted area involved in ongoing activity.
		At greater depths, in some locations, resistivity decreases again with depth, due to the presence of a crustal magma reservoir - although in one location (the Lau Basin), a deeper low resistivity zone may, instead, be due to anomalously conductive aqueous fluid ponded within the crust off axis.

		Bottom sediments were collected from the Academician Ridge using a gravity core (4.8m) at 10cm intervals.
		Sponges are also widely distributed in space and time, and may be considered valuable stratigraphic markers in Lake Baikal, in addition to their obviously important ecological role.
		Thus, observed morphometric changes have applications for use in tracing paleoecological and climatic changes in Lake Baikal during the Holocene and Pleistocene, or even earlier, and spicules of new species may hold information on the evolution of Lubomirskiidae and their probable spongillid roots.
