The diploma

Baikal Winteriada 2008

The diploma is issued by The Irkutsk Award Group.

The diploma is issued in connection with the 6th Baikal Winteriada -
The International Baikal Nordic Games Festival of extreme kinds of winter sports
(among them: - a ski transition over Baikal lake, 190 km on skates over the ice of the lake,
races on snowmobiles, a dog sledding, fishing from under the ice etc.)

Within the schedule of the Winteriada 2008 a station on ice of Baikal
lake will work on bands.

There will be 60cm of ice (2 feet) and 1000 meters (3300 feet)
water depth under the station.
The special station UE0SZB (Siberia Zimniada Baikal) will work from there.
"Zimniada" is "Winteriada" in Russian.

(The winter is mild at lake Baikal this year (same the previous 2007 year)
and the thickness
of the ice is not as thick as years before. So we cannot say the
date when station will be on bands. But it will be by all means
during several days within the period of the Winteriada 2008.
We publish an additional information as we get it.)
