The Van-Ahtamar portion shelves gradually, with a maximum depth of about 250 m (820 ft) on its northwest side where it joins the rest of the lake. The Erciş arm is much shallower, mostly less than 50 m (160 ft), with a maximum depth of about 150 m (490 ft).
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).

Van Etten Lake is a 1,320-acre (530 ha) lake in Iosco County, Michigan. [1] The lake is largely developed with houses surrounded by dense forest. The bottom is mainly clay and it has a maximum depth of 33 feet (10 m). [ 2 ]
The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes but bests its cousins in several other ways. Find out more about all the Great Lakes.
