Lake Vostok, which is 13,000 feet below the surface of the Antarctica ice sheet. I would say it's the "deepest", but maybe this could lose the trivia question.

Here's a link to all the lakes, and the deepest and largest fresh-water lake is in Rift Valley.
The Rift Valley lakes are a group of lakes formed by the Great Rift Valley of eastern Africa. These lakes include some of the oldest, largest and deepest lakes in the world, and are a freshwater ecoregion of great biodiversity. The Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes are the northernmost of the African Rift Valley lakes. In central Ethiopia the Great Rift Valley splits the Ethiopian highlands into northern and southern halves, and the Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes occupy the floor of the rift valley between the two highlands. Most of the Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes do not have an outlet, and most are alkaline. The largest of these lakes is Lake Abaya (1160 km², elevation 1285 m); other major lakes include Lake Chamo (551 km², 1235 m), Lake Awasa (129 km², elevation 1708 m), Lake Zway (485 km², elevation 1636 m), Lake Abijatta (205 km², elevation 1573 m), and Lake Koka (250 km², elevation 1590 m). Lake Tana (3600 km², elevation 1788 m), the source of the Blue Nile, is not a Rift Valley lake, but lies in the Ethiopian highlands north of the Rift Valley.
To the other lakes:
