Top impressions

• Surprisingly warm water of the cold lake: in September you can swim
• The healing power of hot springs

Autumn Baikal is incredibly beautiful. Golden autumn here comes later than on the "mainland" for about a couple of weeks. The sky becomes clearer, higher and more transparent. There's a pause in storms. The end of September – the beginning of October – is a relatively quiet time, although, of course, it can blow.

Empty bird bazaars, low probability to meet a bear on the shore even in the most bearish corners. The Nerpa scattered all over the glorious sea. It's time to shoot landscapes.

Therefore, I deliberately exclude wandering around the islands of the Small Sea from the autumn program, we will not go to Ushkanyi islands for the sake of a few survey shots from the top of the Big Ushkanye, we will pass the Chivyrkui Bay this time.

Our main objects of shooting will be the eastern foothills of the Baikal Ridge, the tops of which are likely to be already powdered with snow, and larchs at the foot will be clothed in a bright orange robe.

In addition, we will visit the protected mountain lake Froliha, where BBT volunteers built a wonderful trail. Overhanging over the water surface, Bear Mountain is the hallmark of these places.

Passing by hot springs, remember that nothing human is alien to us. Even if there are only photographers and videographers on board.

Comments on the complexity of the programme

We will spend most of our time on the ship. However, we will often go ashore for shooting, in addition, in the tour program there are two or three (weather) quite long (within 20 km) "forays". It is possible to stay on the ship (if unwell), but then why do we go to film?
