The deepest lake in the world is Lake Baikal, located in Siberia, Russia. It reaches a maximum depth of about 1,642 meters (5,387 feet), making it the deepest freshwater lake on the planet. Lake Baikal is also one of the oldest lakes, estimated to be around 25 million years old, and it holds about 20% of the world’s unfrozen freshwater.

This lake is home to thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are found nowhere else, such as the Baikal seal. Its clear, cold waters support a unique ecosystem, and scientists study it to understand freshwater biodiversity and environmental changes. Lake Baikal is not only a natural wonder but also an important resource for the people living nearby. Shutdown123
