Lakes or ponds?
"Sacha" wrote in message
.. . snip Thank you. Perhaps we should re-name it The Lake. But at least we now know that size *does* matter. ;-) According to the guiness world records web site - http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/index.asp 'The Caspian Sea' is a lake - the world's largest at 371800 sq km 'Don Juan Pond' is a lake - the saltiest lake in the world, remaining liquid at -53 Celcius 'The Aral Sea' is a lake - has shrunk most - 80% since 1980 So, that's two seas and one pond which are 'officially' lakes. I guess you can call it whatever you want. I also found a reference elsewhere to Shenyang in China having the world's smallest lake which might have helped but it didn't mention the size :-( -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~sykesm |
