Russian scientists reached the bottom of Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia in twin mini-submarines. They attempted to set a new world record for a manned dive in freshwater. The teams piloted a pair of mini-submarines to the bed of Baikal, 5,183ft below the surface of the lake. The attempt fell well short of the record of 5,512ft.
