| e18dzt50 | Initial article. Covers dimensions (with conflicting depth figures stated side by side), Baikal Rift geology and sediment record, hydrology and ice, endemism with two species-count baselines, fish, the Baikal seal, Buryat and Russian settlement, the Trans-Siberian, the Baikalsk mill closure (2013), the 2016 littoral degradation commentary, and the 1996 UNESCO inscription. Gaps: Circum-Baikal Railway engineering, endemic amphipod/sponge counts, rift extension rate, 2017 omul fishing ban, Selenga dam proposals, tourism pressure and Baikal Law amendments; several facts rest on Britannica pages pending a second independent source. | MarginaliaHuman Verified | published |
