I've got a question for you. I was crusing around that big deep lake
in russia with google earth and was really surprised at the bright
blue ice, happen to know why it is blue? It's real easy to find, just
click on five pictures at the lake and one will show the ice.

SW-The current issue of Russian Life magazine has an article on Lake
Baikal, unfortunately not available on line. In the photos the ice is as
smooth and clear as glass, over black water. Perhaps Google caught a
reflection of the sky.

Mayhaps the ice was not frozen, and it was water ..............

The ice was 60 centimeters (2 feet) thick.
