By volume of fresh water, what is the largest lake in the world?
- A Lake Superior, U.S.
- B Lake Vostok, Antarctica
- C Lake Baikal, Russia
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Nothing compares to Lake Baikal in southern Siberia: with a maximum depth of just over a mile, it’s the deepest lake in the world. And at over 400 miles in length, Lake Baikal contains a full one-fifth of the freshwater on the entire planet. Lake Vostok is about the size of Lake Ontario and the Russians are drilling below the ice right now to get to it.
