That's how important it is.
We always have to talk about Lake Baikal.
It always needs to come up.
Everybody needs to know about Lake Baikal.
The world needs to know about Lake Baikal.
And if they don't, then they got to listen to this podcast.
Lake Baikal is the weirdest lake in the world.
It's the weirdest.
It's the oldest lake in the world.
How do we know?
We can test rock and like we know because it's one of these tectonic lakes.
So it's actually similar to Lake Tahoe in that it's like more it's not a lake created from glaciers.
It's a lake where the earth is like pulling apart.
Same with the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea is really old and it's really deep.
The Dead Sea is like 900 feet deep.
It's crazy.
And these are places where the earth is like pulling apart or there's like a tectonic rift of some kind.
Like Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and Peru, same thing, where it's like on this rift valley.
So we know that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world.
