The largest is, by far, the Caspian Sea, which has almost 400,000 km2, a size that surpasses the territory of Japan. Wow, but is it a lake? Yes, this generates controversy among geologists, but despite the name, most of them classify the Caspian Sea as a lake. It’s just that it has no connections with the oceans and doesn’t dump its waters into any other lake, river or watercourse. In fact, there is no criterion to accurately define the difference, for example, between a lake and a pond. But, in general, geologists consider a lake a block of water that occupies a large continental surface.
