EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time along the Trans-Siberian Railway's journey near the shores of Lake Baikal, circa 1910s. The Trans-Siberian Railway, an engineering marvel of the Russian Empire, stretches over 9,000 kilometers (5,600 miles) and connects Moscow to the Pacific Ocean. This image, taken at Mysovaya, a small settlement on the lake's southern shore, showcases the railway's rugged beauty as it winds its way through the Siberian wilderness. Lake Baikal, the deepest freshwater lake in the world, is a breathtaking natural wonder. Its crystal-clear waters hold 20% of the world's unfrozen freshwater and are home to over 3,000 species, including the endemic Baikal omul fish. The lake's stunning blue-green hue is reflected in the snow-capped mountains and the railway tracks that run along its edge. In this photograph, steam billows from the locomotive as it approaches the lake, creating a picturesque scene of the railway's interaction with the natural environment. The railway's impact on the landscape is evident, yet it remains in harmony with the raw beauty of Siberia. The image offers a glimpse into the past, when travelers embarked on long journeys across Russia, taking in the awe-inspiring sights of its vast landscapes and rich cultural heritage.
