"Lake Baikal is the world's largest freshwater lake in terms of volume. It contains about 5521 cubic miles of water (23,000 cubic kilometers), or approximately 20% of Earth's fresh surface water. This is a volume of water approximately equivalent to all five of the North American Great Lakes combined."
That's what I thought. I had a discussion with someone last night and I thought Lake Baikal was the largest and this fellow thought it was Lake Superior. [When he returns, I'll be able to point this out to him. hehehe] 08 23 2010
