The Lake Titicaca drilling project [43] recovered a 136-m-long drill core of sediments from the bottom of Lake Titicaca at a depth of 235 m (771 ft) and at a location just east of Isla del Sol. This core contains a continuous record of lake sedimentation and paleoenvironmental conditions for Lake Titicaca back to about 370,000 BP.

The following table includes the 30 tallest world islands located in a lake or reservoir. These lake islands are ranked by their topographic prominence, their maximum elevation above the surrounding water level. All geographic coordinates are adjusted to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS 84).
Dymaxion world map with the 15 largest lakes roughly to scale. This is a pair of lists of terrestrial lakes with a surface area of more than approximately 3,000 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi), ranked by area, [1] [2] [3] excluding reservoirs and lagoons.
The biggest lake in the ecoregion is Lake Titicaca, which is the highest navigable lake in the world, at an elevation of 3800 m (above sea level). The Suches and Tiwanacu rivers in Bolivia are the lakes tributaries. The areas in the north surrounding Lake Titicaca have eight wet months, and the areas in the south have one to two wet months. [2]
The most prominent feature of the Altiplano is the large lake at its northern end, Lake Titicaca. At 3,811 m (12,503 ft) above sea level. At 3,811 m (12,503 ft) above sea level. With a surface area of 9,064 km 2 (3,500 sq mi), it is larger than Puerto Rico and is South America's second-largest lake by surface area.
