Lower Agnara is one of two rivers of Asiatic Russia, in the government of Irkutsk. it rises in the mountains to the east of Lake Baikal, and falls into the head of Lake Baikal after flowing nearly 300 miles. The current of the river is very strong, forming several rapids in its progress. The scenery on its banks is frequently extremely beautiful.[2]
The area has notable rock art[3] and is a major carbon sink although fires have weakened it.[4]
