Lake Baikal sits in southern Siberia, Russia, and holds the title of the world's largest freshwater lake by volume. It holds around 23,615 cubic kilometers (5,670 cubic miles) of water. This makes up roughly 20% to 23% of Earth's unfrozen surface fresh water. The lake's immense volume is a result of its incredible depth. At its deepest point, it plunges to 1,642 meters (5,387 feet), making it the deepest lake on the planet.
