Walking on the 25 million-year-old liquid fossils, a self-driving tour of Lake Baikal

2019 ushered in one of the few warm winters in extremely cold Siberia. To be exact, it is an extremely rare one. Even so, the cold air in Siberia still froze the entire Lake Baikal in one breath, leaving behind a magic mirror in front of a witch, unpredictable.

On February 23, 2019, the three of us walked together and started our trip to the ice of Lake Baikal-walking on the liquid fossils that are 25 million years old!
