Lake Baikal

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I found this article last year and I was fascinated by it and I wanted to explore Lake Baikal more. This is important because this lake holds over 23% of all of the Earth's freshwater.

This article has links provided for almost every single fact, and especially the words, places, phrases, and history that is not common to those who are not from the region and do not actively study or know much about this place. Some references are in Russian which is hard because many of them do not have translations fro English so you have to translate everything via other websites.
