The temperature is dropping

-

Winter has taken its full rights and is giving quite low temperatures to us! The night temperature of -25 C -30 C is a normal thing while at the day time it can be about +15 C on the warm days. The skiing and snowboarding and dog-sledding season has already started, but Baikal lake is not frozen yet. Will wait till the middle of January! Till then enjoy sunny days and snowfalls and long evenings!

If anyone asks me about my favourite place on Baikal, I may talk about several places like that. But this bay "Sagaan-Zaba" is one of the most remarkable places and one of my favourite.
