Lost Tsarist gold worth billions of pounds may have been discovered at the bottom of the world's deepest freshwater lake.
In the past few days the crew of a mini submarine carrying out a mapping exercise in Lake Baikal spotted some 'shiny metal objects' some 1,200ft down in the murky depths.
Legend has it that 1,600 tons of gold was lost when White Army commander Admiral Alexander Kolchak’s train derailed and plunged into the Siberian lake.
Another version has it that troops retreating on foot and horsecarriage across Baikal’s icy surface froze to death as temperatures hit -60C (minus 76F) in the winter of 1919-20.

When the spring thaw arrived, they and the sacks of Imperial gold sank to the bottom of the massive lake.
