The world's highest commercially navigable lake is Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia at 3,812m (12,507ft). It is also the largest lake in South America.Smith, L. C.; Sheng, Y.; MacDonald, G. M.; Hinzman, L. D. (2005). "Disappearing Arctic Lakes". Science. 308 (5727): 1429. doi: 10.1126/science.1108142. PMID 15933192. S2CID 32069335. Lakes are typically much larger and deeper than ponds, which are also water-filled basins on land, although there are no official definitions or scientific criteria distinguishing the two. [2] Most lakes are fed by springs, and both fed and drained by creeks and rivers, but some lakes are endorheic without any outflow, while volcanic lakes are filled directly by precipitation runoffs and do not have any inflow streams. [3] Lakes are also distinct from lagoons, which are shallow tidal pools dammed by sandbars at coastal regions. An example of tectonic lakes: Lake Akdoğan, Turkey

Lava lake is a large volume of molten lava, usually basaltic, contained in a volcanic vent, crater, or broad depression. [56]The second largest lake by surface area, and the largest freshwater lake by surface area, is Lake Michigan-Huron, which is hydrologically a single lake. Its surface area is 45,300 sq. mi./117,400km 2. For those who consider Lake Michigan-Huron to be separate lakes, and Caspian Sea to be a sea, Lake Superior would be the largest lake at 82,100km 2 (31,700 square miles) a b c Manivanan, R. (2008).

Lake Maracaibo is considered by some to be the second-oldest lake on Earth, but since it lies at sea level and nowadays is a contiguous body of water with the sea, others consider that it has turned into a small bay.

[80] The largest lake completely within the boundaries of a single city is Lake Wanapitei in the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Before the current city boundaries came into effect in 2001, this status was held by Lake Ramsey, also in Sudbury. Lady in the lake case appeal fails". North-West Evening Mail. 28 November 2008.
