火车正在沿着贝加尔湖行驶。湖水占满了整个窗户。水是深邃而完美的蓝色。
渔夫伊戈尔正拿着笔记本站在窗边。
“贝加尔湖,”他说,“是世界上最深的湖,深达1642米。它也是最古老的湖,有2500万年的历史。”
湖水清澈见底,波莉能看到浅水处湖底的岩石。
“它储存了地球上23%的非冰冻淡水,”伊戈尔说,“比北美的所有五大湖加起来还多。”
火车在斯柳江卡站停下。伊戈尔下了车。他用两根手指握了握波莉的翅膀尖。“三天的捕鱼,然后回家。”他挥了挥手就走了。
火车沿着湖又行驶了三个小时。一群贝加尔湖海豹浮出水面。它们是世界上唯一的淡水海豹。
波莉想着在她下面有多少水。贝加尔湖里住着一种小粉红色的虾,它负责保持湖水清洁。它已经做了这个工作两千万年了。
