Diatom analysis of a sediment core from the Northern basin of Lake Baikal (Siberia) has been carried out with focus on the Kazantsevo Interglacial period (equivalent to the Eemian in Europe). The age model, based on palaeomagnetism, indicates that this stage lasted about 11,000 years in the region o...
