Which landmark, between Lake Baikal and Rara Lake, can be found further north in Asia?
Lake Baikal Lake Baikal (Russian: о́зеро Байка́л , "Ozero Baykal"; ] ; Buryat: Байгал нуур , Mongolian: Байгал нуур , "Baygal nuur", etymologically meaning, in Mongolian, "the Nature Lake") is a rift lake in Russia, located in southern Siberia, between Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and the Buryat Republic to the southeast.
Treaty of Nerchinsk The Treaty of Nerchinsk of 1689 (Russian: Нерчинский договор , "Nerčinskij dogovor"; , Xiao'erjing: نِبُچُ تِيَوْيُؤ) was the first treaty between Russia and China. The Russians gave up the area north of the Amur River as far as the Stanovoy Mountains and kept the area between the Argun River and Lake Baikal. This border along the Argun River and Stanovoy Mountains lasted until the Amur Annexation in 1860. For background see History of Sino-Russian relations.
