Sorry, about the comma/period mix up. It's funny, when I wrote that I thought to myself, I thought it was bigger than that.

And the little warmed spot of water in Baikal is constricted by the surrounding ice. No?

No, you can see the is flat ice or a groove depression around the rock. as the melted water freezes there's nothing to constrict it. the rock is considerably higher.

Awhile back I posted somewhere in the Cellar an illustration that was a cross section of the Great Lakes. Now somebody has taken that illustration and
added Lake Baikal. The height to width ratio in the illustration is way off, but what we're interested in, the elevation of the surface and depth from there
to the bottom, are cool.
