We’re tracking two Canadian adventurers for our Geo Quiz today. They’re attempting to cross a frozen lake in Siberia.

It’s not just any lake…it’s about 400 miles across and its the deepest lake in the world. It’s the planet’s largest reservoir of fresh water.

Fantastic stuff! Did you guys bring your ice skates?
It would be neat to post some pics on the siberian express site if there are any to be found of the train tracks that were laid across the lake back when they did that…
