Siberia is the region with Asia's largest freshwater lake: Lake Baikal (Ozero Baykal).* You can find Lake Baikal in eastern and southern RUSSIA, not too far north of Mongolia. Additionally, Lake Baikal is the world's deepest lake with the second largest volume. A beautiful sight to see from the Circum-Baikal and Trans-Siberian railways, the lake was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996.
* You might already know that the Caspian Sea is Asia's - and the world's - largest saltwater body.
