Incredible views of the southern basin, showing the vast depth and clarity of the world's largest freshwater reservoir.

A clear view of the regional capital and its historic wooden architecture as you pass the Angara confluence.
Angara River Source
The unique point at Listvyanka where the massive Angara River flows out of Lake Baikal.
Central Siberian Taiga
Endless expanses of dense dark-coniferous forests that define the rugged Siberian interior.
Krasnoyarsk Stolby
The famous syenite rock pillars of the Stolby Nature Sanctuary visible on the horizon during descent.
This side is mandatory for seeing Baikal. In winter (Jan-March), look for the intricate patterns of the lake's thick turquoise ice. For the best lighting, morning flights illuminate the lake and mountains perfectly. Ensure your window is clean as the scenery is world-class.
