Caspian Sea
The Caspian Sea is the largest lake in the world by volume and is bounded by states of the former Soviet Union (specifically Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan) and Iran. It is considered an endorheic, or terminal lake, because the water never goes to the ocean. Because of this, minerals build up in the water as it evaporates.

The term "Caspian Sea" is a misnomer; despite its name, it is technically the world's largest enclosed inland body of water and is classified as a lake.
