Where is the world’s largest lake by area?

The world’s largest lake by area is the Caspian Sea, located between Europe and Asia. It spans about 371,000 square kilometres (143,000 square miles), making it larger than some countries. Despite its name, the Caspian Sea is technically a lake because it is landlocked, with no outlet to the ocean. It is surrounded by five countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Azerbaijan. The Caspian Sea is home to a variety of marine life, including sturgeon, which produces the famous caviar.
