What is the most famous lake in the world?

Question

Why is it famous?

Answer 1

Lake Titicaca.
Lake Titicaca is the highest commercially navigable lake in the world [1], at 3,812 m (12,507 feet) above sea level. It is also South America's largest freshwater lake, with a surface area of approximately 8372 square kilometers[2].

Located in the Altiplano high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia, at 16°S 69°W, Titicaca has an average depth of between 107 m[3], and a maximum depth of 281 m. The western part of the lake belongs to the Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Bolivian La Paz Department.

It's famous because the name is so funny nobody ever forgets it.

Answer 2

But seas are not lakes!
The major difference is that seas are saltwater and lakes are freshwater. The reason for this is the real difference between lakes and seas: lakes flow out into a river, which eventually goes into the ocean; but seas don't flow out.
There might be a couple of exceptions (like the Great Salt Lake), which are probably the result of the discoverer not having a clue about geography.

Answer 3

Veronica Lake

Answer 4

Lake Michigan, probably.

It is the fifth largest lake in the world. It is the largest lake in the United States and the largest lake entirely in one country. 12 million people live along its shores, including the people in the huge city of Chicago.

Answer 5

Lake Victoria
It feeds the Nile.

Answer 6

Any of the larger ones; Lake Superior, Lake Victoria, Lake Nasser, Lake Como, Lake Van.
It depends on where you live and what you've been studying lately.
But I'd go for Titicaca because of the name too.

Answer 7

Salt Lake - As in Salt Lake City. Since the Olympics were held there, everybody all over the world has heard of it.

Answer 8

Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, Central América.
Its famous because its surrounded by volcanoes has a beautiful blue color and there are many Mayan villages near by.

Answer 9

The Dead Sea for two reasons

1) It's infamous for it's saltiness and location at the lowest point on earth (on dry ground)

2) It's historical and religious significance

For religious reasons alone, The Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias) has to get some consideration too.
