I just binge-watched some nature videos and wanted to share a few highlights. Feel free to post information, videos, etc. of these or other lakes if you think they are of interest.

Surface area comparisons of the Earth's lakes:

The following are ranked by greatest water volume.
1. Caspian Sea (central Eurasia)
This is the largest lake in the world by volume and surface area. It is largely formed by or is an endoheic basin. This means that it has disproportionally little outflow and is formed on a basin.
2. Lake Baikal (south-central Russia)
This is an astoundingly deep lake. Very foreboding. It was formed by plate tectonics.
3. Lake Tanganyika (central Africa)
This lake is practically endoheic, and like the above lakes, faces significant ecological issues.
