DEEPEST, OLDEST

                 LAKE ON EARTH









































































            CRACKED ICE

            Long cracks slice across the
            frozen surface of Lake Baikal
            like jet vapor trails in a clear
            sky. The ice is 6.6 ft (2 m) thick,
            and is constantly cracking with
            a sound like gunfire.
