Lake Malawi is also known as Lake Nyasa in most countries, or Lake Nyassa, Lake Niassa, or Lago Niassa in Mozambique. The lake is situated between Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania and known as the lakes have more habitats of various species of fish of tropical waters than any other lake on Earth.
Lake Malawi or Lake Nyaza has a depth of 706 meters with a total surface area of approximately 29,600 square kilometers of the lake. This lake has a shoreline in western Mozambique, eastern Malawi and southern Tanzania. This freshwater lake has flowed into the Shire River, a tributary that flows into the Zambezi River is very large.
Lake Malawi or Nyaza alone is estimated at least about 40,000 years old.

Is the deepest lake in America with a maximum depth of 836 meters near the O'Higgins Glacier and the characteristic blue color of milk on the lake is derived from rocks that are suspended in water.

4. Lake Vostok (Antarctica)


Of the 140 sub-glacial lakes on earth, Vostok is the largest and deepest, with a maximum depth of 1000 meters (2950 ft). Under Russia's Vostok Station, 13,000 feet below the surface of the central Antarctic ice sheet, the lake is probably the most pristine lakes on Earth.
The average water temperature of -3 ° C and the reason why the lake is still liquid below the freezing point is the influence of high pressure from the weight of ice on it.
The scientists also found that the ice core may be 420,000 years old, which means that the lake is covered for more than 500,000.

The lake is located between the southern regions of the Russian Federation and northern Iran, is located in the largest water-covered areas on Earth. This lake is endorheic lake with salty water (salinity of approximately 1.2%) are confined to the mainland due to continental drift 5.5 million years ago. This lake is the third deepest lake in the world down a depth of 1025 meters (3363 ft).
Fauna in the Caspian basin is very rich: a large number of sturgeon (the main source of caviar), various species of endangered salmon can only be found in this area.
