There is one little known peculiarity, which differs Baikal from other
geological structures on the earth: if we sum up the highest altitude of
mountain ridges, which circle the lake (2840 m), the maximum depth
(1637 m) and the maximum might of sediments in Baikal hollow (8500 m)
it is visible that the amplitude of deflection of the earth's crust
under Baikal is 12997 m, it exeeds in two kilometres the depth of Marian Channel.
Such a deep groove hollows can be met nowhere else on Earth.
In the picture: the shore among the source of the Ledyanaya river
and Cape Zavorotny.
