Filmmaker and Artist Alisi Telengut Discusses Endangered Languages and Lake Baikal
I think there are mainly two reasons. The first one, I heard about the lake from my mother. She's been there many times and I've never been there. It's the oldest freshwater lake in the world, the deepest. It formed around 25 million years ago. So at the beginning, I was really fascinated because in this area it's just a plateau and all of a sudden, in the middle of the land, there's a rift lake, and it's the deepest freshwater lake.
The second reason [is] because my mother tongue is Mongolian.
