Underwater Baikal Christmas Dance

Some scientists take their work home — these scientists take it under the ice. Researchers at the Baikal Biology Research Institute (Irkutsk State University) are professional divers who clearly don't miss a chance to celebrate the holidays, even at the bottom of the world's deepest lake (with no mulled wine though).

Meet Ksenia Vereshchagina — head of laboratory, award-winning scientific photographer, and now, apparently, underwater holiday decorator. Why not install a New Year tree at the bottom of Baikal?
