The largest freshwater lake by surface area is either Lake Superior or Lake Michigan-Huron if you consider the two named lakes as a single body of water (there is some justification for this, as the two are only separated by the Straits of Mackinac and are at the same elevation). The largest freshwater lake by volume is Lake Baikal, which has a smaller surface area than either Superior or Michigan-Huron, but is very deep (over a mile deep in places) and therefore has a higher volume. It's estimated that Lake Baikal by itself contains approximately 20% of the fresh water in the entire world.
