(A) Many of us know that Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s
popular song, Lake Baikal. But over the past ten years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been more and
more popular because of an extreme sport.
Each March since 2005, about 150 people from Around the world take part in the Baikal Ice Marathon (冰上马
拉松). They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in difficult conditions.
The 26-mile journey starts on the lake's eastern side. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard.
Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.
The Lake Baikal has the clearest water. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的). "Seen from
above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space, " The New York Times noted.
The landscape might be beautiful, but it's also harsh. Strong cold winds blow across the lake and the average
temperature in March is around -38℃. But runners say the cold climate is what attracts them. They want to test
their limits. " When you are in such an environment, you don't have cars around you, you don’t have the noise
around. I think this extreme marathon allows you to be alone was nature,"Aliceja Barahona,A 64-year-old runner
from the US, told ABC News.
Lake Baikal offers, strange and special characteristics for this marathon. The finish line can be seen from the
start, but the endless white offers no progress markers（标记）. The race also ends with little noise. Tourists

For some runners, not having viewers makes the race more difficult. They must fight with themselves. "You
are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself," Veoniquc
