I think the best way we can live is just to keep breathing and know that just one more day will come after tomorrow. That one day is my safe place. It doesn't matter if you're dreading tomorrow. What comes after the dark is the best part. When the light shines and everything turns calm. That is the best part. Be there.

What is your favorite animal tidbit about the denizens of Lake Baikal?

actually my favorite thing about Baikal is the lake itself!

viewed from above, it looks like nothing particularly special. sure, it’s a big lake, but it doesn’t have the surface area of the Great Lakes or the Caspian Sea, right?

WRONG!

BOOM.

see, Lake Baikal really isn’t a lake at all, it’s a deep rent in the earth’s crust called a Rift Valley that just happened to get water in it. and the Baikal rift is one of the deepest and narrowest on earth, making this deceptively placid lake slightly over a MILE deep! that’s bonkers nutso.

like, you think the OCEAN is bad, just imagine being in a little fishing boat on this thing without realizing just how far away the bottom is….

Holy fucking shit

That bitch has a quarter of the fresh water in the entire world?!

[whitmerule]

I notice you never answered the crucial first question, OP. What lives in it? What lives down in that lake?

[bunjywunjy]

THEY

Freshwater Sponges! Like Lubomirskia baikalensis

And not to mention Oilfish (Comephorus baikalensis)

Delightful fact: Baikal Seals are also known as “Nerpas.”

“ More than anything, this photograph was really the result of a series of little accidents. After abandoning a hike halfway through due to lack of sunlight, we subsequently began to make our way back home. As we drove through a long stretch of highway, I made the decision to nap in the back, but before that, for whatever reason, I peered out the window and into the heavens first. At that point, I began screaming like a madman telling everyone to look up. Amazed, we pulled into the next rest stop.”
