Lake Baikal is the oldest, the deepest and most voluminous freshwater lake on Earth. Its clear waters offer sanctuary to more than 1700 species of plants and animals, two thirds of which are endemic. Lake Baikal was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. During winter the regional temperatures reach -19ºC and as the lake freezes, the ice cap gets thick enough to support pedestrians and snowmobiles.

- Photo Of The Day: Winter Wonderland
I haven't seen, touched nor tasted snow in years. And I miss it so badly. I never liked the cold; but the snow... who can possibly not like the puffy white dust that melts on the tip of your nose? This postcard like pic Flickr user restarpictures...

Thanks to Flickr user BaikalNature who submitted this amazing photo to Travelocafe Flickr group. I love the glossy green and blue shades of the ice labyrinth and how out of chaos a new order of things is being born. I always find it fascinating to see how nature gets playful for our amusement.
Have you taken any great shots lately? Why not adding them to our Travelocafe group on Flickr? We might just pick one of your photos for our next Photo Of The Day post.
