Photo #: STS039-77-73 Date: Apr. 1991 Geographic Region: RUSSIAN FEDERATION Feature: LAKE BAIKAL-SVYATOYNOS P |
STS039-077-073 Svyatoy Peninsula and Lake Baykal, Russia May 1991 Even though this image was collected during the spring of 1991, the snow-covered mountainous landscape and ice-covered (extensive, light-colored surfaces) Lake Baykal presents a harsh-looking, cold environment. The wedge-shaped mountainous terrain with several snow capped peaks and ridgelines exceeding 5000 feet (1524 meters) above sea level is aligned in a northeast-southwest orientation. The dark feature west of the large, Svyatoy Peninsula is a small island that is surrounded by ice. The various patterns and color gradation within the ice that covers Lake Baykol indicates a variety of ice thicknesses. The Svyatoy Peninsula is connected to the mountainous eastern shore of the lake by a low-lying, swampy isthmus. |
