[edit] Baikal

Pretty sure it's largest fresh water lake by volume, not absolute largest. Wilhelm Ritter 01:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

The largest freshwater lake is called Baikal. --Ghirla^-трёп- 11:46, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

We need a new photo. Some newspaper wrote the lake is now just a desert like lake Aral, lake CHad. --Tamás Kádár 16:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Does anybody know the meaning of Balkhash ? It may help to understand the history of the lake.
