Summary
DescriptionOlkhon Island, Capes, cliffs at sunset, Lake Baikal, Russia.jpg | English: Panoramic view of the northwestern capes of the Olkhon Island coast: Damnuriy, Khara-Under, Khoboy, seen from the cliffs of Cape Sagan-Khushun. Complex tectonics and metamorphism make it difficult to understand the origin of the oldest formations. In geology, the study of Lake Baikal has been accompanied by ongoing discussion over the past hundred years. At the northwestern end of Olkhon Island there are outcrops of schists, gneisses, light marbles and quartzites of the Archean and Proterozoic up to 3 billion (3000 million) years old. These rocks are considerably older than Lake Baikal itself and the continental rift (fault) in which it was formed. In many places these rocks are covered with red and brown lichens. There are also unique relict plants here, isolated from the main habitat. The northwestern capes are also important in the history and practice of Buryat and Siberian shamanism. Olkhon Island, Lake Baikal, Russia. Русский: Панорама северных и северо-западных мысов побережья острова Ольхон: Дамнурий, Хара–Ундэр, Хобой, с обрывов мыса Саган-Хушун. Сложная тектоника, метаморфизмы существенно затрудняют понимание первичной природы древнейших образований. В геологии изучение Байкала в последние сто лет сопровождается постоянной дискуссией. Но в любом случае, на северо-западной оконечности острова Ольхон присутствуют выходы кристаллических сланцев, гнейсов, светлых мраморов и кварцитов архея и протерозоя, возрастом до 3 миллиардов (3000 миллионов) лет. (Геология ольхонского архея, «Хобойская свита» (Черский, 1880, Павловский, Ескин, 1964)). Эти породы значительно старше самого озера Байкал и континентального рифта (разлома), в котором оно образовалось. Во многих местах они покрыты рыжими и бурыми лишайниками. Здесь также присутствуют уникальные реликтовые, оторванные от основного ареала растения. Мысы на северном побережье Ольхона также имеют важное значение в истории и практике бурятского и сибирского шаманизма. Шаманизм – одна из основных религий Бурятии и Иркутской области. Ее исповедуют коренные народы, живущие вокруг Байкала, в Сибири и на Дальнем Востоке – буряты. эвенки, якуты. Остров Ольхон. Озеро Байкал, Россия. |
