This article says:

It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth.

Is that in terms of surface area, or volume, or something else? By surface area, I think Lake Superior is the largest, but by volume, Lake Baikal is bigger because it is very deep, and so contains more water than Lake Superior. So it makes a difference which way you measure it. Michael Hardy 03:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
