An exhibition of unusual sculptures on lake Baikal

This is an exhibition of unusual sculptures on lake Baikal in Siberia. The Incredible Ice Formations Of Lake Baikal Look Like Extraterrestrial Sculptures. Located in the Russian region of Siberia, Lake Baikal is the world’s deepest and most voluminous freshwater lake. It contains approximately 23% of the world’s surface water! How to get there. If you are traveling from a nearby town (such as Irkutsk or Ulan-Ude), you can also get to Baikal lake by bus or by car. Baikal Lake is situated along the Trans-Siberian route, so if you take that route, you absolutely have to stop at Baikal. There is no excuse if you don't, because traveling 5000 km with a train and bypassing this beautiful lake would be something you'd regret for the rest of your life! There are two main means of transport to get to Baikal lake: by plane or by train. If you are traveling from a nearby town (such as Irkutsk or Ulan-Ude), you can also get to Baikal lake by bus or by car. Below, we will look at each of these means in more detail, but first — a short look at the main cities close to Baikal (so that you know your destination). The Cities on Baikal The three main points of access to Baikal are Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude cities and Slyudyanka settlement. You can get to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude by plane, train (Trans-Siberian), or bus. Slyudyanka is a stop along the Trans-Siberian also, and you get get there by bus from Irkutsk too. There's also Baikalsk on the eastern shore of Baikal lake, but fewer trains stop there, and it is of no interest. From Irkutsk you can either go to Lisvyanka (popular village, which is the closest place on Baikal (65 km - around 1.5 hours by bus or car)), Olkhon island (which is complete wilderness, but with all the comforts - 250 km - about 7 hours by bus or car), Port Baikal (to start the Circum Baikal railway) - next to Listvyanka, or to Slyudyanka (which is slightly further, but is a good point to explore Circum Baikal). Some river transport can take you for a day trips to one of the bays further North from Listvyanka. Where to stay. Plenty of hotels or guesthouses at Olkhon island. Shipping A lot of local souvenir shop at Olkhon island Where to eat. Numerous of nice restaurants at the main road of the village. #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #2023travelwish #wintergetaway #couplestrip ##tripblazers
