This map bothers me as they omit Lake Tahoe, which is higher than Baikal (~6,200 ft) and deeper than everything except Baikal (~1,600 ft deep)

What's the point of including all that empty space between Baikal and Titicaca when there's a world renowned lake that would be great to include

The map makes absolutely no sense to 97% of the planet and that's what bothers you? 😂

This was originally just a map of the Great Lakes system. Someone added Baikal and Titicaca to it later for comparison.

So you’re saying it’s not really special. Not the highest, not the deepest?

Sure. Throw it in!

TIL! Maybe Crater Lake too.

Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe, and Lake Chelan.
