Turquoise Ice Lake in Baikal, Russia
Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake by volume, deepest lake and the oldest lake in the world. The lake has something beautiful to offer. The lake freezes during winter which leaves behind beautiful turquoise ice. These ice gems glitter in the sun giving a soothing effect to your eyes. The surface of the lake freezes unevenly during the winter pushing blocks of diamond cut ice blocks on the surfaces. This phenomenon causes the gem to show up on the surface. The sunlight passing through its clear ice turns it into a turquoise gem from the fairyland. These hidden ice jewels glow on the sides with a blanket of snow on the top. A Russian photographer, Alfred Trofimov was the first to capture these world wonder exquisitely and calls them as “the pearl of our planet.”
