PROBLEM 3.5 Deactivate all previous overlays and activate the overlay in this folder. The placemark points to Lake Baikal in central Russia. It is the deepest (1,642 m or 5,387 ft), oldest (25 million years), and largest lake by volume in the world (holding 20% of all liquid surface freshwater). Because of its northern location, great volume, and great depth, it is a cold lake. Notice that the lake is covered with clouds in this image.
