Well, surprise, there are 117 million lakes on the face of this plant. This means that they come together to cover almost 4% of the Earth\u2019s continental land surface if combined. Moreover, you should never underestimate the lake\u2019s size because it might look small in diameter, but you can never be too sure of its depth. Hence, many lakes can easily be around 5000ft deep and just an acre in size.<\/p>\n<h2>2.\u00a0\u00a0 Lake Superior Is the Superior of All Lakes<\/h2>\n<p>If the name hasn\u2019t given away too much already, then we\u2019d like to enlist some of the most amazing, fascinating, and truly surprising facts about Lake Superior alone, as the superior of all lakes it deserves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by its surface area spanning over 32,000 square miles.<\/li>\n<li>The total water accumulated in Lake Superior can easily make up 50% of all water found in the Great Lakes.<\/li>\n<li>The deepest point in Lake Superior hits 1330ft in depth.

In fact, 85% of most of the elevated ones are less than 1600ft above sea level. The main reason behind this phenomenon is due to Ice Age. During the Ice Age, glaciers scarped the landmass flat and so many lakes formed after were due to the water melting far below the surface than high above.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23262\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mystart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2169\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda.jpeg 2169w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-768x510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-1536x1020.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-2048x1360.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-370x246.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-270x179.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-570x378.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/ntbrand-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/mystart\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/12161603\/IN_Lakes_5ca3d342f389de152cf6feda-740x491.jpeg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2169px) 100vw, 2169px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5.\u00a0\u00a0 All Lakes Come &amp; Go Naturally<\/h2>\n<p>It is a surprising fact that lakes can just come and go as they please. For instance, in August 2014, a new lake was discovered in Gafsa, Tunisia, which definitely wasn\u2019t there before. Scientists cite the reason as groundwater release or pooling of rainwater. Similarly, many lakes in Russia and Alaska can disappear as the higher temperatures give in to permafrost.<\/p>\n<h2>6.\u00a0\u00a0 The Clearest Water Body<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe Blue Lake\u201d or \u201cRotomairewhenua\u201d is the clearest body of freshwater known globally. It is located in New Zealand and, according to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twistedsifter.com\/2014\/08\/worlds-clearest-lake-blue-lake-new-zealand\/\">research<\/a>, possesses a visibility scale of up to 80 meters (almost 260 feet). This means that the lake&#8217;s water is considered to be visually or optically just as clear as distilled drinking water in our homes. So the next time you are visiting New Zealand, do give the might clear water body a dunk.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>Lakes are beautiful, mysterious and have an almost eerie sense of calm about them. Given that this particular water body is mostly at a standstill unlike, river streams and ocean waves, there is too much that goes on beneath the surface that many of us would find surprising.<\/p>\n<h5>Do you enjoy lake landscapes?
